These Chinese reading progress videos show how my daughter went from single words to fluid reading. It's humbling and encouraging to see the growth over time!
I asked Auntie if my Chinese accent is improving. She replied in accented English: "I understand what you say. Just like you understand my English, even though this is the best I can do."
Letting go of guilt over our lack of Lunar New Year decorations and Asian food. Culture can be shared and enjoyed in many ways, and we will make our own family traditions!
Despite my lack of fluency, my daughter loves to speak, sing, and read Chinese. She knows and understands >1000 characters due to strategies described in this post.
After all those years of giving you grief about learning Chinese (among many things), you'd never guess that I'm trying to teach it now. It is difficult, but I have the cutest study buddies, and they're kicking my butt.
