Life at MIX

Every lesson is something children make.

Brushes and ink, songs in a circle, characters drawn on our own bags. Children don't just study Chinese at MIX: they live it, with their hands.

MIX Method

Learn it, sing it, make it.

Our own Hanzi cards, designed for MIX by illustrator Pepper Liang: animals, numbers, fruits and festivals. Children discover a character, bring it to life with a craft or a game, and take home what they made.

Our story

Four founders, one idea.

MIX started in 2018 from a simple question: why do children get bored learning Chinese? Four founders set out to make it fun, hands-on and part of everyday life.
