Chinese Conversation Starters For Kids The Ultimate Compilation

In 2023, the world is more connected than ever.

This means more children need Chinese to communicate with each other.

Also, the more Chinese they know now, the better their future opportunities will be.

So, today’s parents often ask what is the best way for young kids to learn to speak Chinese?

The solution to this problem is quite simple:

The best way to learn to speak Chinese is… by speaking Chinese.

That sounds easy enough, right?

Whether you choose a private tutor, an international school or a mobile application, practicing is key.

However, a school has its limitations: young learners should have the time to enjoy learning Chinese in a fun and casual setting.

Kids like to talk about different things than adults.

So, what should you talk about then?

To solve this problem, our experts have put together the ultimate collection of conversation starters for kids with 3 to 7 year-olds in mind (Pre A-1 and A-1).
