Structure & Goal
Built on hihilulu’s immersive language learning approach, our Chinese courses draw on extensive teaching experience and incorporate Professor Joël Bellassen’s theory of “Dualism” and “snowballing” teaching methods.
Each lesson is based on children’s daily life situations, with spoken vocabulary tailored for non-native learners. Characters for reading and writing are chosen according to the unique features of Chinese.
A Chinese program designed for beginner non-native young learners aged 3-15.
The lessons are tailored to the young learners’ age.

Scientific Curriculum Assessment System
A self-developed evaluation system with more than 3,000 interactive tests evaluates listening, speaking, reading, writing, comprehension skills and tracks learning progress and outcome of each student.
The after-class supportive resources make review easier and efficient. Smart quizzes are used to check any problematic areas and improve learning outcomes.
Introduction of hihilulu Test System
Our testing system is developed to strengthen the learning effect. Therefore, the exercises are tightly linked to the 800 basic characters and words selected by our Progressive Chinese Learning System for Kids, and questions are set from different linguistic dimensions for each keyword, to examine fully the listening, speaking, reading and reading language skills. Main types of test questions include: multiple-choice, matching, clicking and sorting.
1. Multiple-choice questions
As objective questions, multiple-choice questions (MCQ) are regarded as the main type of question for evaluation due to factors such as objective scoring standards.
The new type of question starts from the four elements of language learning: phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, and application ; and focus on different key points to set up questions and corpus content.
1.1 Listening questions
To examine children’s ability to recognize connection between Chinese pronunciation and Chinese characters.
1.2 Choosing character-picture questions
Reinforce the combined meaning of compound words in order to improve the understanding of targeted Chinese words
1.3 Choose the picture according to phrase
Choose a picture based on the given phrases to test the child’s understanding of the phrases
2. Matching questions
The learning characteristic of young children is that concrete thinking is better than abstract thinking. Therefore, matching questions use related vocabularies in the same question, asking children to match the pictures and words, so that they can learn the differences of words and enhance the learning effect.
3. Sorting questions
The sorting questions refer to the necessary grammar points of HSK, and hope to let children complete the learning of grammar in a relaxed way.
Splitting sentences and phrases into components allows children to get used to Chinese language habits while testing, make preliminary preparations for the language output after vocabulary expansion in the later stage, and understand the commonalities of vocabulary in different positions during the play.
Professional teaching management tools and data reports
The software has powerful teaching management functions. The administrators of schools and institutions can manage students, classes and teachers; teachers can directly use the platform for student management, class management, teaching plan formulation, classroom teaching, homework assignment, and student learning progress tracking and feedback, etc.; both students and parents can log in through their own channels to complete homework, perform after-school exercises, and view children’s learning situation.
The professional management function can easily transform the traditional Chinese classroom into a modern, energetic, efficient and interesting classroom, and provide teachers with a full range of teaching content and technical support.
Data says everything. Our online platform can provide you with transparent data services, such as generating regular progress reports, so that school leaders and managers can understand the progress of the Chinese class. Compared with traditional teaching, this is a huge advantage, because everything is controllable. In traditional teaching, only Chinese teachers can influence and determine the teaching and quality of Chinese courses.
