Uncle Bear tells stories about the world in Chinese and English —
helping kids aged 3-8 discover the world while picking up everyday
English, one bedtime at a time.
◆ Stories that open up the world
- Topics range from Taiwanese folklore and everyday science to world
classics: the zodiac animals, the Nian beast, day and night, rainbows,
seeds, caterpillars becoming butterflies...
- Kids get to know the world through stories, not flashcard drills
- The library keeps growing; the format stays the same
◆ Bilingual, with Chinese as the scaffold
- Cultural ideas (the zodiac, Chang'e, Sun Moon Lake...) are explained
clearly in Chinese
- Each episode teaches 4-6 high-frequency everyday English sentences,
each followed by a plain-Chinese recap the first time it appears
- Understandable and usable — not a curriculum, no pronunciation scoring
◆ Screen-free English exposure
- Made for listening — no need to stare at a screen
- Each episode runs 3-5 minutes, opening with "Story time!" and closing
with "Good night!" to build a daily ritual
- Every episode ends with a recall question and a pause, inviting kids
to speak up before the answer plays
◆ Plays on the lock screen
- Background playback with lock-screen controls, perfect for bedtime
and car rides
◆ Every episode ends on its own
- No autoplay into the next episode — parents decide whether to play
one more
◆ Word cards for reading together
- Tap a word card to hear the word read aloud — a light interaction
for parents reading along with their kids
◆ Offline and private
- Free stories come bundled; purchased story packs play offline once
