Learning Chinese

This is just a recap of how we are progressing with the Mandarin language. We have a board that we write 5 words to learn for the week. (We write a word, then the pronunciation of the word in Chinese and the way it is written in it's Chinese characters).  The following week we add five more new words to the board.  So far we have learned how to say Jehovah, Bible, Genesis, and the numbers 0–10. (Which interestingly, we have noticed that once you know the numbers 0–10 then you know numbers 0 through 99. For example: to say 32 you would say, "three ten two".)  We have also learned other words like "hello" ( Nǐ Hǎo) and "thank you" (xìe xie). 

The bottom right hand corner of the board is how you would write Aimy (top) and Andy (bottom) in the Chinese characters. 

We've also aquired meeting books that have not only the Chinese characters but also the Romanization of the Chinese pronounciation (known as Pin Yin) so that we can sound out the words. Which is awesome and helps out a lot in learning. 

It's awesome how Jehovah wants his people to be well educated. 

We went to the Chinese meeting today but this time we had an English talk and a sister was translating it to Mandarin. 

This hall has 2 English, 1 Chinese, 1 Koren,  and 1 Spanish Congregation. 

We hope to learn enough Chinese before Baby Boca teaches us. ;-)
