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 ~
