Mandarin Chinese Weblog

Keeping in line with my belief in linguistic diversification, I’m entering a Mandarin Speech contest, which will be held at the end of April.  I have some idea as to what I’ll speak about, but I’m looking forward to challenging myself in this fashion.

This week I haven’t had a chance to give my 10 minutes chinese lesson of the day, but last week, we introduced the favorite:  你好， 你好吗， 我很好， 你呢

No  characters, just pinyin, as characters aren’t a goal in this case.

In my Chinese class, we’re also diversifying.  I’d like to think I had a hand in suggesting practicing calligraphy 书法 and using 毛笔 （writing brush) while we listened to KTV (karaoke TV videos) DVDs.  It was very fun.   That’s important.  Remember to have fun!!!
