Chinese School
Monkey asked to go to Chinese school. I think she said she wanted to be able to speak secrets to her mom.
Anyway, we told her that because she had no knowledge of Chinese, she would have to start at the kindergarten level. She was okay with it.
We went to the first day of class today. People welcomed her and was happy she asked to learn Chinese, not the other way around.
The class structure was play-based. Monkey loved it. She played games saying children's songs in Mandarin, and she scribbled some words on paper. She really enjoyed her class. When we got home, she would practice and listen to the CD.
I guess it helps when a child expresses interests rather than being forced to.
