I'm Learning To Speak Chinese!

China has 2 official languages Mandarin and Cantonese. Mandarin is the countries official language and I'm learning Mandarin.

My long time friend Sharon has taught me quite a bit of Mandarin during our 'wait'.

She is an excellent teacher, and my very good friend.


A few weeks ago I started taking classes with other students at a school.

My Chinese teacher is Lan...

Lan has even stayed after class to help me! I am SO blessed!

I also have a tutor, her name is Yi (pronounced 'ee') that I meet at the Library every week. Alan took our picture...

She has taught me many things and one of them is 1 little 2 little 3 little Indians; I'm not very good at it (neither singing or pronouncing the words to the song). I don't know if people were staring at us in the Library, we were having too much fun singing and laughing! Yi has quickly become my peng2 you3 (friend).

I'm impressed you're trying to learn Chinese! I love languages, but would not have the energy to attempt this one.
