Shapes in Chinese
By Dmytro Syrykh, the parent who makes Kidster
Spoken by a native Chinese voice, the same recording a child hears in the Kidster app.
All of these are free in Kidster.
Good to know
Mandarin shape names describe the shape: 三角形 (sānjiǎoxíng) is “three-corner shape”, 圆形 (yuánxíng) “round shape”. A pyramid is 金字塔 (jīnzìtǎ), “a tower shaped like the character 金”. The recordings are in Mandarin.
