Hua Mu-Lan - iBigToy Reviews

by LynndJP

I got HuaMuLan a long time ago when I had an interest in learning Chinese. The English has always been problematic. Can’t comment whether the Chines is accurate or not. It’s updated quite a few times (without fixing the English) and it’s been fine but suddenly EVERY PAGE gets a Google ad now. That alone will get HuaMuLan deleted.

While nice to look at, the translation is terrible and the voice over is torture to listen to.

Don't show this to your kids! Your toddler will latch on to it because of the way it looks. So you will either feel like a terrible parent when they listen to it, since it is a horrible way to learn English , or when they get upset when you tell them that you deleted it.

The graphics and everything for this game our wonderful. However, the grammar is not. Whoever wrote or translated this did not do a good job. It would have been so enjoyable if they had. HuaMuLan seems to be geared towards children learning to read on their own and if that's the kind of app you were looking to find, you are going to have to look elsewhere.

Seriously, engrish in a child's book? Come on. Find an editor before you go to all the trouble to translate a book and lay down a recording of it. This would be funny were it not for the children who have to decipher what is trying to be said.

"Mulan thought over the this thing all night and came up an ideal finally." This is terrible!

I wanted an interactive story for my daughter;however, the English and grammar are AWFUL. I should have read the description to see how bad the sentence structure was. I wouldn't be harping on this so much if it weren't geared towards children who are learning to read!

This virtual book has great illustrations, but the story is written (and read) with lots of grammatical errors. It's not good for kids (or anyone else) learning to speak English, and the mistakes disrupt the flow of the story for people who already speak English.

This appears to be a terrible English translation from another language. It would be hilarious, it it were not so bad.

I was drawn to the 99 cent price, but regret purchasing this book. The English grammar is off.

by App Lovers

The book's graphic and pictures are beautiful; unfortunately, the English is very bad. I would no let my child read this book.

The graphics were good but the language used in the book were improper. To be specific, we note the book used "good body skill" to describe martial arts and "what the heck is going on", both of which were not proper. This book should be re-written for proper English.

I like this story but I do not like this version. The grammar is not correct, therefore it is difficult for my daughter to understand what is happening in the story. I am going to erase it from my iPad and look for another version. I do like the illustrations.

If your going to teach English to Chinese kids - maybe this would work. But WOW! This is really bad. I only read two pages and deleted it.
The animation, color and idea behind making this is why I gave 2 stars.

by LouisLa

The art is really fantastic, especially considering that there is a flood of freebie low-quality Chinese-made children's book in HuaMuLan Store.

Unfortunately, the English translation is poor. If they went back and paid a good English copywriter to revise this, it would be a solid 4 stars.
