We started this bookshop around the same time we decided to take the bilingual journey seriously. So, that means we’ve been on this bilingual journey for about 4 years now and now we’re raising 4 bilingual children, ages 6, 4, 2 and almost 1. A lot can happen in 4 years! So here’s 4 key thoughts that have guided us.

Books are a great way to learn about other cultures and perspectives. Let’s learn about Japanese culture with this cooking and tasting activity inspired by this little dango book!

We combed through the UK Early Years Foundation Stage framework and the UK programmes of study for KS1 (Reception to Year 2) so that you don’t have to. If you’re looking to learn Maths in Chinese, find out which maths books are right for you!

Everyone is talking about ‘graded learning’. But what is it? Do I even need it? How should I use it if I have it? We’ve been using and selling Chinese graded learning since 2020. So, here are some things you should know if you want to start using it.

The summer holidays are here! Here’s a summer reading list for your bilingual family that will support their Chinese language skills throughout the holidays. There’s something for everyone!

We’re so excited to share our humble collection of books for Women’s History Month this year. From breakthrough science to political activism, it’s time to be inspired by some truly phenomenal women! Here are just a few that children can read about this year — in either English or Chinese!

2023 is the first year of De Ziremi’s Give Love February — an initiative to support children who are in need. This year, we’re giving to Grace Training Centre (based in our hometown, Tawau). Being undocumented means being unseen by the government: no school, no employment, no protection. Grace Training Centre is a school giving hope to undocumented (sometimes called ‘stateless’) children.

New Year vibes: you feeling motivated? If your New Year’s resolution has anything to do with learning Chinese, then we’ve got a book for you! From cooking to learning history to graded learning, we’d love to help you achieve your bilingual goals this year!

Undoubtedly, one of the best ways to learn and teach a language is with the help of fun stories and books. They help us apply our vocabulary. That’s why you should take this opportunity to use these Chinese Christmas books! Here are some of our top picks for Christmas with a selection of books suitable for ages 0-12.

Both the Europe and Global Luka have self-recording - and it’s a great feature. Sometimes, it’s comforting to hear a familiar adult’s voice. Sometimes, there’s a particular way you want a story to be told. The self-recording feature adds a personal touch to the Luka that helps us make the most of it.
