Hello, I'm Jeffrey

Building with love, for small humans.

I grew up bilingual in English and Mandarin. I've studied Japanese for twenty years. Now my son is growing up trilingual — and Bearly Games is what grew out of that.

What I believe

Three Guiding Principles

Fun is not optional.

Twenty years of language study taught me this: nobody finishes a marathon they hate. Delight isn't the reward at the end — it's the only thing that gets you there.

Languages are a thread, not a setting.

In my home, three languages happen at once. Most apps treat language as the invisible vehicle for the "real" subjects — Oomi flips the script, making subjects like numeracy and science a vehicle for multilingual learning.

Children at the center.

Designed for my son, built with every parent in mind. No ads, no analytics, no accounts — nothing leaves the device. Soft, not sticky. Read the policy.

First game: Oomi.

Ten minigames for ages 3–8. Six languages, woven through every round.

Just me. From a city where most people I know speak at least 2 languages. Building with and for my son. And multilingual small humans, everywhere.

Raising a multilingual kid? Building for one? Say hi.
