  @modernPtwoI As a primarily English-speaking family, the challenge has always been associating the characters with their meaning. My girl is thinking in English! Traditional worksheets didn’t help much because everything is in Chinese. It’s like being thrown into American Ninja Warrior before you’ve even learnt to run So my aim was really to get her past that first hurdle. With the English scaffold there, she can at least connect the character to its meaning, build some confidence, and then tackle the harder stuff. I totally get the full-immersion argument, but let’s be real. Most of our kids aren’t learning Chinese because they want to master it. The intrinsic motivation just isn’t there. So if a little English support gets them over the wall and actually engaging, I’ll take that win. Sorry for the long reply! But to actually answer your question, she’s not whining when I get her to practise anymore, which honestly is already a win She also loves the profile feature, customising her avatar and picking a cute nickname! Hope it’s useful for your family too!

  Re: PSLE Discussions and Strategies DEAR PARENTS, We’re the team behind ##### Pickytic.ai, full transparency, this is our official account. We’re not pretending to be regular users. We wanted to introduce ourselves properly before anything else. WHY WE BUILD THIS We kept hearing the same things from students and parents: “I study every night but my score never moves.” “I only find out what I’m weak at during the actual exam.” “I have no idea if what my child is doing is actually working.” Doing more papers doesn’t fix the problem. It just keeps you busy. The students who actually improve are the ones who know exactly which topics are pulling their marks down and drill those specifically. Not randomly. Not by gut feel. WHAT PICKYTIC DOES We built an AI that tells you exactly this, after every single practice session: → What you’ve already mastered → What still needs work → What to focus on next On top of that: Real exam simulations: Timed, pressured, exactly like the actual thing. So exam day isn’t a shock. Progress tracking: So improvement isn’t just a feeling. Students and parents can both see it clearly. Gamified practice: Because staring at ten-year-series papers gets old fast. We made it actually engaging. It covers all Primary and Secondary levels, not just PSLE and O-levels, but every level, every term. Honest question for you to think of:bolded text Whether you’re a student or a parent, do you actually know which specific topics are costing you marks right now? Not just “I’m weak at Maths.” But which part of Maths. Which question type. Which concept. That gap between knowing your weak subject and knowing your weak topic is usually what decides whether you improve or plateau. We’d love to hear what subject or topic is giving you the most trouble right now. We’ll give genuinely useful advice, not just a pitch. We’re a Singapore team. We understand the PSLE and O-level pressure well. We built this because we genuinely believe there’s a better way to prepare than just doing more papers. link text[image: 1780807227377-pickytic_logo.jpg]
