The road to China

Ni Hao!

With my son's love of All things Chinese we have embark on a family adventure in learning Mandarin. Today was our first lesson. DS went to his class DH and I went off to ours. Tomorrow is Mid Autumn festival or Moon festival. We Celebrated by hearing the story of  Houyi and Chang'e and how the mooncake festival came to be.
DS's class is making a play of  Houyi and Chang'e. He really wants to play the archer!
You can read more about the moon festival here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Autumn_Festival

Learning a language together i think will be a wonderful thing. I'm really proud and excited we are taking this journey together.
