Muyu 木鱼

Your kid speaks Chinese. Muyu teaches them to read it.

敲木鱼,学母语。会说中文的孩子,也能读懂中文。

Ten minutes a day of real reading, built for kids who grew up hearing Chinese at home. Their Chinese school teacher assigns it and sees who practiced. Parents see progress, not tears.

Spring 2027 pilot in the Bay Area. No spam, one email when it's ready.

Tap any character. This is what your kid sees.

Level 2. Every passage comes with reading aloud and two questions, graded the way a teacher would.

How it works 怎么用

  1. Read

    The teacher assigns a leveled passage. Your kid reads it on a phone, tapping any character they don't know for pinyin and meaning. Every tap is a signal about what to teach next.
  2. Read aloud

    They read it out loud. Muyu hears which characters were skipped or mispronounced and plays the correct reading back.
  3. Teacher sees it

    Two comprehension questions, then it's done. The teacher's dashboard shows who practiced, what was hard, and what to cover on Saturday.

For Chinese schools 给中文学校

Muyu is free for schools. Parents subscribe, the school gets the dashboard and a practice loop between Saturdays. We're piloting with a few Bay Area schools in spring 2027.
