WHO’S THIS Comic FOR?

You lovely folks out there who have conversational level Chinese... BUT are still struggling to read.

(aka you’ve taken a semester of CN in school, grew up speaking Chinese at home, and/or are dating/married to a Chinese speaker)

HOW IT WORKS:

Fancy talk: These comics are built around the emerging theory of story-based language learning, as well as inductive language acquisition theory.

What this means: Panda aims to teach you how to read Chinese organically! First, we introduce new 生词 in context (no translation). Then, the smarty-pants reader (that’s you!) infers meaning from context, drawing from the textual and visual clues! Lastly, we’ll reveal the answer to ya — unpacking the new 生词 in detail and helping you really lock down what that new character/vocabulary means.

After 5(ish) character comics, I’ll make up a spiral-up story review comic, aka leveled stories written with content you’ve already mastered!

The dream is to grow Panda into a graphic novel series

…which guides the reader to full Chinese literacy!

LATEST COMICS:

…Until that book deal comes through, I’ll be posting these “edutaining” comics on the social medias!

let’s get literate!

… Ok, a caveat: right now it’s just me making Panda Cub Stories (alongside freelancing for the monies to pay the rents). I’ll realistically be posting 2 comics max a week in instagram. If your goal’s to speed your way to CN literacy, my comics won’t be enough.

[Worry not! I’m doing some research, and will link recommended resources here! Coming soon!]

SHHH! A secret project!

…aha! If you scrolled all the way down here, you must be a panda super-fan (omg, we love you, #thxsomuchforlovingus). Here’s yo’ reward, oh most deserved one:
