Teaching Chinese to Your Kids
By Dyske May 13th, 2009
Teaching Chinese to children is all the rage right now. Some people are hiring Chinese babysitters just so that their kids can learn Chinese. Oh, I remember a similar craze back in the 80s when everyone wanted to learn how to speak Japanese. Now the limelight is on the Chinese, and it makes sense. Personally, I wish I could speak Chinese myself. China seems like the most exciting place to be these days. Fast-changing, dynamic, and choatic; just the kind of environment I like.
The DVD you see on the right, The Advantures of Walker and Ping Ping, was produced by my friends to introduce American kids to the Chinese culture and language. It’s a pretty ambitious project where they developed the characters from scratch. If you have kids, check it out.

O.o I am addicted to anime and manga, so I’m trying to learn so I can watch and read raws XD I know, I’m weird… XP But I wish that in school, they don’t make you learn French but you can pick your language, although high schools do that ~
