The Fish Tales & Rhymes Story: Teaching Kids Chinese Through Songs

Hi, I’m Angelina. These are my two boys, Raphael and Gabriel. These two balls of constant energy were my inspiration for Fish Tales & Rhymes.
 

Fish Tales & Rhymes was created when I realised there was a way to tap into my boys' love for music and dance, all while learning Chinese through songs and nursery rhymes: ones that could also take me back to my own childhood.
 

Raphael and Gabriel loved our bedtime routine where stories were read in the three languages that we spoke at home.
 

They loved to move their little bodies to music and to reenact scenes from the Chinese songs and rhymes I read to them, as though they were performing on stage. Our bedtime routine put a twinkle in their eyes and magic into their world.
 

It was at that moment that learning Chinese through music and reading together became the answer to the challenge many parents face when raising a bilingual child in Mandarin, or a multilingual speaker.

That's when Fish Tales & Rhymes was created.
