Learning Chinese should feel exciting, interactive, and memorable for every child.
With hihilulu’s blended learning approach, every lesson combines our gamified online platform with hands-on learning materials such as flashcards and wooden puzzles to support different learning styles and keep students fully engaged.

Beyond the language itself, children also explore Chinese traditions, values, and seasonal celebrations through interactive games and activities that help build cultural understanding in a fun and meaningful way.

From digital learning to cultural discovery, hihilulu helps create learning experiences children genuinely look forward to.

We are excited to share Jennifer’s conversation with Xraised, where she joins host Myles Sabiniano to discuss how hihilulu is transforming the way children learn Chinese around the world.

From the challenges of traditional language learning to the development of the Sn*******ng Method with Professor Joël Bellassen, Jennifer shares the vision behind hihilulu and how our brain-friendly approach is helping children build confidence, curiosity, and real communication skills through Chinese.

The podcast episode also explores the future of education, international expansion, the role of AI in learning, and why meaningful engagement remains at the heart of every hihilulu experience.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate all the mums who encourage curiosity, support learning, and inspire confidence in their children every single day.

hihilulu began with one mother’s wish to help her daughters build a joyful connection with Chinese. What started as a personal journey soon became a mission to help families everywhere make language learning more engaging, meaningful, and accessible.

Today, hihilulu continues to support parents and children through interactive learning, playful experiences, and cultural discovery designed to grow confidence together.

To every mum supporting their child’s education, nurturing their potential, and helping them explore the world through language, we celebrate you today.

Happy Mother’s Day from hihilulu 🧡

Mother’s Day in Chinese is 母亲节 🌸

In China, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, just like in many countries around the world, including the USA, Australia, and Canada.

In the UK, Mother’s Day is traditionally celebrated earlier in the year on Mothering Sunday, while in France, La Fête des Mères is celebrated later, usually on the last Sunday of May. It is a wonderful way to explore how different cultures celebrate family traditions across the world.

At hihilulu, we believe language learning becomes even more meaningful when children can connect words to special moments and celebrations.

Learning Chinese through real-life traditions and family celebrations helps children build confidence, curiosity, and cultural understanding in a fun and memorable way.

"What began as a personal mission to help her twin daughters, Hila and Luna, learn Chinese joyfully while growing up in France."

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the care and determination of mothers who are working to support their child’s education.
"It soon grew into something far more impactful. With an engineer’s logic, a marketer’s insight, and a mother’s instinct, she founded hihilulu—a platform built not to simplify the language, but to unlock it."

Today, hihilulu continues that mission by supporting families at home. Through interactive lessons, engaging stories, and practical resources, parents can confidently guide their children’s learning in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and part of everyday life.

Quote from Jennifer's interview with Education Excellence Magazine

What challenges are you facing while introducing or expanding your school’s Mandarin language programme?
During our recent English webinar, we welcomed schools from South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya to explore the future of Mandarin provision in education.
The majority of schools shared that they are still in the exploration stage, highlighting that many decision makers are currently navigating key barriers to implementation.
Our follow-up polling revealed the most significant challenges schools face, including teacher shortages, budget constraints and curriculum integration. These are exactly the areas where hihilulu is designed to provide practical support and scalable solutions.
In comparison, our French webinar showed student engagement as the primary challenge, suggesting clear regional differences in priorities and needs.
Finally, most schools indicated a preference for Mandarin delivery through after-school clubs, with some also interested in online teaching models.
These insights help us continue to shape accessible, engaging and effective Mandarin learning solutions for schools globally.

We believe AI is reshaping the way educational content is created by making the process faster, more intelligent, and more adaptable for designers and creators.

At hihilulu, AI tools support the creative process by generating ideas, producing multimodal assets, and helping refine outputs so that teams can focus on improving quality and delivering content that is precise, engaging, and purpose-driven.

UI and Graphic Designer Hanna Zhao shares how AI is becoming an essential part of modern content creation, enabling more efficient workflows while enhancing creativity and visual impact.

We believe that AI is transforming Chinese learning by making language education more intelligent, immersive, and personalised for every child.

At hihilulu, we are combining artificial intelligence with Professor Joël Bellassen’s dual structure approach to help learners naturally progress from components to characters, characters to words, and words to meaningful sentences.

Technical Director Ping Zhang shares how hihilulu’s evolving AI-powered knowledge base is helping shape the future of Chinese learning through authentic language structures, adaptive learning pathways, and immersive dialogue experiences.

Supporting Chinese language learning in schools comes with real challenges, from limited classroom time to curriculum integration and keeping students engaged. That’s why hihilulu Atelier is designed to align with school learning objectives while making Mandarin immersive, accessible, and enjoyable for children aged 3 to 15.

Through engaging storytelling, interactive games, and culturally rich content, our curriculum helps educators deliver structured Chinese learning that supports progression, confidence, and classroom participation. With tailored lesson paths and multimedia resources, hihilulu Atelier makes it easier to integrate Mandarin into existing teaching programmes while creating meaningful learning experiences for every student.
