Say it. Pass it.
A brick wall rolls toward your ball. Read the Chinese word on the wall out loud and the ball jumps to the hole. Ten walls, one stopwatch, as many tries as you need.
Mic on · listens to youThe voice game that teaches Mandarin
Say the word.
Beat the wall.
Speak Mandarin.
Say Chinese words out loud to steer a ball through walls, or shout them on the beat, with a panda who cheers louder than you do.
How it works
Three games.
One controller: your voice.
Every game starts as a video kids already love to copy. Pandahua turns it into something you play out loud: say the word, and things happen.
Say the word on beat
Eight pictures, one song. Look for eight beats, then say each word as the green box lands on it. Level up from Easy to Hard.
Sing-along · no mic needed
What is this?
A picture and a ring timer. Name it before the ring runs out, and the faster you say it, the better. The panda is still building this one.

Four tones. Four colours.
Pinyin you can see.
Mandarin has four tones and a neutral one. Same sound, different pitch, different word. Tap a tile to hear it.

Before & after
Don’t take the panda’s word for it.
What families noticed after a few weeks of playing out loud.
Before
She understood her grandma fine, but she'd only ever answer in English.
After
Now she shouts 苹果 at the wall before I've even read it. Last week she said 猫 to her grandma, unprompted.
Before
Flashcards lasted about two minutes before the whining started.
After
He asks for ‘one more wall’. Ten words, done in the car, and he wants to beat his time.
Before
Chinese class on Saturday was the only time anyone at home said a word of it.
After
The beat song is stuck in all our heads. Even the little one is chanting 星星, 罐子, 汽车.
FAQ
Questions from grown-ups.
The short answers. The panda handles the long ones.
Does my child need to read Chinese already?
No. In Say it. Pass it., every word on the wall comes with its English meaning, and pinyin too if it's turned on. In Say the word on beat, each word has a picture. Stuck? Tap Hear word and the panda says it slowly.
What happens when they say a word wrong?
The ball bonks the wall, the wall rolls back, and they try again. There are no lives and no game over, so nobody gets locked out for a bad round.
Does Pandahua check tones?
Not yet. Say it. Pass it. checks that your child said the right word, and close-enough sounds count. Tones aren't graded yet.
Is the microphone always listening?
No. The app asks for the microphone when a game starts and stops listening when you leave the game. On iPhone, speech is recognised on the device. On Android, the phone's built-in speech service is used, and it may process audio online. Say the word on beat doesn't use the microphone at all.
Does the camera record my child?
No. Selfie mode is off until your child switches it on inside the game. It's a live preview only, and nothing is saved or uploaded.
Simplified or Traditional characters?
Both. Choose 简体 or 繁體 in parent settings. Answers count whichever one is chosen.
