千界大冒險 · Realm Hoppers

Listen. Understand. Answer.

Recognizing a character is step one. In Realm Hoppers, villagers talk, bargain and tell stories using your child's own words, so comprehension and listening grow with every visit.

A story draws them in. Curiosity takes them further.

Inside our Learning Worlds, students read stories, discover new places and roam through villages, chatting with the characters they meet. Every mystery gives them a reason to explore in Chinese—building character knowledge and reading comprehension, and even recording their own voices along the way.

Take a peek at the villages below.
