'Chineasy Tiles' is the name of an educational tool that can be used to help people of all ages learn Chinese through fun and games.
Considering that many people find learning a new language—Chinese in particular—a challenge, Chineasy Tiles simplify the learning process through play. Although there are thousands of Chinese characters to learn, this language-teaching game begins with just 48 common characters, each of which is illustrated to help people better commit them to memory. With just one boxed set, players are able to engage in many different ways, such as with games like Bingo, Connect-the-Tiles, Bundle Up, as well as through different guides for teachers and parents.
Chineasy Tiles is currently being spotlighted as Kickstarter Gold project, which celebrates notable crowdfunding project creators.
