What a great idea!! That seems do-...Thanks, Julia! What a great idea!! That seems do-able... but finding time to sit down with all of them for yet another subject has been what has held me back. I've resorted to using car time to count up to thirty and to talk about the colors, but hadn't done much more than that. I just love your idea!

But what's worked for my 6yo & 4yo (and myself) is learning 2 vocab words per week and then using them constantly! Now my kids ask for water in Mandarin instead of English...I'm planning on learning vocab most of the year, then getting some of our Chinese friends to teach us how to use the vocab we know in simple sentences. Our textbook is Usborne's 1000 Chinese Words. It's internet linked, so we have recorded pronunciation to keep us on track!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531160914585330709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626966885159139879.post-41491295202210972482011-06-12T21:18:31.143-04:002011-06-12T21:18:31.143-04:00I would LOVE to teach my son German!

What a great treasury to teach them some of that heritage!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429241918446730533noreply@blogger.com
