Blind Leading The Blind
This was the homework that Alycia's Mandarin class teacher gave her last week. I could not read most of the words there, especially the instructions. As I could recognize a few words (water and hand), I figured that Alycia was supposed to complete the missing stroke for each word. So I ended up spending 15 minutes going through the previous pages to find the words and fill up the missing strokes. It's really a case of the blind leading the blind. I think I should ask Alycia's teacher to write the instructions in English in future so that I know what she's supposed to do. As for teaching her the words, I think I need to get myself a chinese pictionary with 'han yi pin yi' !

Hi Shireen, dont give up, practise makes perfect.One of the way to improve yourself is to get those chinese story books with pin yin so that you can pronounce it and recognize the word. Pelangi has a lot of handy chinese books. Good luck!
