HONG KONG, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinesia, the Mandarin learning app beloved by a new generation of language learners, has officially announced the launch of its Live Classes and Personalized One-on-One Programs starting May 2025.
Designed for beginners, Chinesia has won the hearts of young learners across Southeast Asia with its exquisite illustrations, gamified lessons, and a lovable panda mascot that reflects elements of traditional Chinese culture. The app combines AI coaching, cultural immersion, and multilingual support, now available in more than 20 interface languages including Thai, Vietnamese, Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic, Japanese, and English.
This May, Chinesia will roll out international learning programs:
- Live Group Classes in Thailand, Vietnam, North Africa, and Indonesia
- One-on-One Personalized Programs in North America, Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia
Why is Chinesia gaining momentum so quickly?
Beyond its innovative tech and appealing visuals, Chinesia offers a deeply immersive and practical learning experience. In partnership with Beijing Foreign Studies University, Chinesia has developed a comprehensive Chinese learning solution tailored to the diverse needs of global learners. It goes beyond traditional study methods to offer:
- 200+ video-based lessons covering everyday life scenarios and HSK vocabulary
- A gamified learning system that builds listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in a fun and effective way
- An exclusive 100-episode animated series that brings Chinese culture to life, helping learners understand the language through rich cultural storytelling
"Chinesia blends AI tutoring with real-life culture and short video stories — so you learn the way people actually talk, not just how textbooks write," said the company's CEO. "This is where Chinesia truly stands out."
With China now the largest trading partner for 166 countries and regions, Mandarin proficiency is becoming increasingly valuable. According to China's National Immigration Administration, cross-border travel surged to 610 million trips in 2024, a 43.9% year-on-year increase — reflecting a growing global connection with Chinese-speaking communities.
Chinesia is perfectly positioned to ride this wave, offering a modern, dynamic, and culturally rich approach to Mandarin learning.
Backed by a passionate team of educators and technologists, Chinesia is on a mission to become the leading platform for learning Chinese worldwide.
Chinesia is now available globally on both the App Store and Google Play.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
