Chinese for Children

Hi Man2Toe I browsed japanese101.com and it's ADORABLE! It really, really captures the flavor of how children learn, with music, action, colorful visual stimulation. Oh, wouldn't it be WONDEFUL if CPod came out with something like this specifically for kids. I would DEFINITELY sign my kids ups for something like that. It's really, really adorable! The elementary charter school down the road from my house teaches Mandarin. 讚美聖父聖子聖靈!! Amen!

Hi Doc, Looks like you and me are the promoters of children education here at Cpod. I personally did not dig too far into Japanese101.com. I envy your neighborhood. To have a school down the street that stesses bi-lingual education is fantasic. My surroundings are not so enriching. It is a dream of mine to build a school that has pre-school through high school Mandarin. Ideally the pre-school would be full immersion then the grade school would be half day Mandarin and half day English. I am not sure how I would like the middle school and high school to go yet. Concerning Cpod, I see an opportunity for them to get into formal education in some way. Sites like Japanese101 can really help teachers revolutionize the teaching techingues of languages. Doc, I appreciate all your posts. Not once have I read a post by you that wasn't considerate of our community here. I am a bit surprised that this post hasn't gotten touched by Cpod and Cpoddies. :(

Thanks for your kind words. We have such a terrific, intelligent, eclectic community and we ought to dilligently preserve it. I think "ChinesePodKids.com" has a great ring to it, don't you?
