Another interesting Chinese iPhone app

Found this interesting iPhone app called 虫虫世界 that I'll like to share with you. It is an useful app for children to learn Chinese. There are several versions, so you need to download them one by one.

This app teaches word recognition by showing the word (and pronunciation) and an animated representation of the meaning of the word. It also shows the strokes and their order  (笔画笔顺). After learning the strokes order, your child can practise writing by placing a little creature at the beginning of the right strokes (in the right sequence) for it to eat the strokes.

Included is a memory card game on the words learnt and a colouring exercise.
