LoopSkool Chinese App Review


                                           LoopSkool Chinese App Review


LoopSkool Chinese is a great app to learn to speak and read Chinese for L2 students.  The creators of this Chinese language learning app utilizes the concept that language can be remembered better and learnt quicker and more easily with the use of rhythm.  I have actually used this method before with my classes and found this method beneficial to language learning. Chinese is a tonal language and once you incorporate rhythm with language learning, at least at the early stages of learning Chinese, it does actually help students learn.  

I think the creators of this app are onto something good with this unique and different approach to learning and teaching of language.  This will definitely be a hit with students as its a fun way to learn as well.  Students will soon be tapping their feet while learning Chinese at the same time.   

The app has lots of practical functions and well thought out activities to help the students gain mastery of the content in the lessons.  Check out my video for a quick introduction to the app, sorry about the sound quality, I'll get that fixed for next time.  

LoopSkool Chinese 2 is available as well.  I'd suggest you ask your students to download both while they are free on iTunes, at the time of writing this post.  For some reason, LoopSkool 2 costs $0.99 on Google Play.
