Chinese Homework


Hunter, Wade, and Milly take Chinese classes three times each week through their school. They are all doing well in learning correct pronunciation and tones. This week Mr. Dave -- their Chinese teacher -- gave each student the assignment to interview a Chinese person who can speak only Chinese. Hunter and Wade interviewed Mr. Chen, while Milly interviewed Mrs. Tall. (See picture). The kids did not always understand all the answers they received back, but the Chinese people that were interviewed understood what they were saying. It seems kids can get tones much easier than adults. In fact, today Levi was counting in Chinese to 20 and said each tone exactly correct. By the way, the tones are much easier for Page than Keith. This will not surprise many of you that know us well.
