Ethan at Chinese Enrichment Class

I had been wanting to start Ethan for Chinese classes since he stopped it in Dec 2005. He attended N1 class at Berries World of Learning, and enjoyed it. Today, he took a trial class for K1 at the Berries branch near our place, and came home beaming with positive and enthusiastic feedback about his class.

I'm relieved that at least, he's not saying that he doesn't understand, or worst, the last time, he told me that "I am English and I am not Chinese" when I was trying to converse with him in Mandarin! I jumped out of my chair the last time I heard that, as he was trying to tell me that he doesn't speak Mandarin, so he is not Chinese....

Anyway, the things they learn in K1 for Chinese class - they are ALREADY learning sentence construction, and idioms!! I looked at some of the sample class work, and WOW - I can't even read some of the idioms....so scary!! I feel ashamed...

Will scan some of these idioms for sharing next time, as we move along in his Berries class.
