Your child, reading real Chinese books.
讓孩子真正愛上學中文
You've tried the flashcard apps, the tutor, the Saturday school that eats Saturday. Boba+ works differently: every character your child learns unlocks real books they can read tonight — so the reward for learning Chinese is Chinese, and they come back without being chased.

What you're actually buying
500+ character lessons — each character is taught, traced, and played, not flashcarded.
500+ leveled storybooks — every book uses only characters your child has already learned, so there is never a page they can't finish.
100+ games that do the review reps your kid would refuse on paper.
Every story read aloud, karaoke-style — your child can do it alone. The 10 minutes are theirs, not yours.
繁體和簡體 one tap apart — books, lessons, and games all switch.
iPhone, iPad, and Android. One subscription, every device your family owns.
Built for ages 4–12 — pre-readers start with their ears, older kids start with the books.
Let's do the math out loud.
Chinese happens 52 times a year — if nobody cancels.
Plus every Saturday morning, plus the car-ride argument.
27¢ a day — and it happens every night, because your kid asks for it.
One year of Boba+ costs less than two hours with a tutor.
You risk nothing. In order:
Download the app free. The first lesson and the first book are free — no card, no trial started, nothing to cancel.
If (and only if) your kid is hooked, start the 7-day free trial. You pay nothing for 7 days, and cancelling is two taps.
On the annual plan, we go further: even after you're charged, you have a full 30 days. Not working? One email to hello@bbchinese.com — 100% back, no forms, no phone call.
You're probably thinking one of these.
So let's say them out loud.
“We've downloaded five of these apps. All abandoned by week two.”
Fair — and honestly, some kids shrug at ours too. No app survives every kid. Here's why this one usually sticks: most apps drill characters, and drilling is a chore no seven-year-old chooses. In Boba, a new character exists so your kid can read tonight's book with it. The reward for learning Chinese is Chinese — not confetti. And the free week exists precisely so you never pay to find out.
“My kid refuses anything labeled ‘Chinese practice.’”
Then don't label it. Hand over the phone and let the first book play. Most kids aren't fighting Chinese — they're fighting being taught. Boba doesn't feel like being taught; it feels like a game that happens to be in Chinese.
“I don't have time to sit next to them.”
You're not supposed to. Everything plays out loud and nothing needs a parent to translate, so the 10 minutes belong to your child — you get the progress email and the quiet.
“Isn't this just more screen time?”
It's ten minutes, it's reading, and there's nothing to binge — no ads, no autoplay, no bottomless feed. Trade it for the worst ten minutes of YouTube and the day comes out ahead.
“$99? For an app?”
That's 27 cents a day — roughly one boba a month. A single tutor hour costs more than three months of Boba+. And you don't start at $99: you start at $0, twice — first the free lesson, then the free week.
“We're a 繁體 family.” / “We're a 简体 family.”
Both, always. The whole app switches scripts with one tap, so grandma's script and school's script can share one subscription.
“What if we stop using it?”
Cancel in two taps from your billing portal — no retention maze, no phone call. On annual and within 30 days of being charged? One email, full refund.
My kiddos are excited to use it. My 5-year-old seems especially engaged with the story format!
