Chinese For Dummies!?!

HI there and welcome to day 2 of my Blog. Since not much has changed since yesterday, I thought I would share with you some of the things we are doing to get ready for our trip to China. Of course, I already mentioned the room, and between getting passports and filing paperwork we are also ATTEMPTING to learn Chinese.

…OMG Chinese is HARD!!! My loving husband bought me the Rosetta Stone for my birthday and that by itself is hard. So I bought “Chinese for Dummies” as a supplement. Yup, it’s still HARD!! I think I can identify man (Nan Ren), woman (Nu Ren), and eating (Chi Fan), but that’s about it… I think I need to work on it a bit more! Good thing we have LOTS of time….

Of course some of us decided that since Chinese is too hard, let the wife handle it… Gee thanks, Chris.

Chris's point of view "She’s smart! See the funny hat? That means she’s smart!"

Riiiiiiight…..

I can only hope that English is much easier for our daughter to learn than Chinese is for us. I plan on sending lots of books and other materials while we wait for our travel papers so that she can get a jump start on learning english. Good Luck little Saiya!
