In the Newby Chinese learning system, you will be brought on a memorable adventure across a magical land. Who are the naughty robots that stole the baby?
We can facilitate fun Chinese learning in your classroom/office with our teacher on a Skype link, and NewbyChinese on a second display.
Alternatively your own Chinese teacher can lead the NewbyChinese classroom sessions.
Multiplayer learning with competitive minigames is so much more effective than isolated learning.
