Newbie lesson: Ahma's poem

Who is your friend in the video? She has a fun spirit about her. Glad you are back Doc. Ahma=阿媽 or 阿姨?

tvan，　谢谢你！

Hi Alice, I'm guessing that that's your mom in the background... the 阿媽 gives it away since I call my paternal grandmother that too. :-)

That was really funny.

Good to have to you back!

Thanks Dave, Lunetta : ) I thought it was hilarious, so had to tape it and share it! Eileen, you are right! Since my kids were born after 我的 大哥的小孩子, it was just easier to have them call my mom 阿媽 also, even though it is technically incorrect : )

大头大头 Dàtóu dàtóu 下雨不愁 xiàyǔ bù chóu 人家有伞 rénjiā yǒusǎn 我有大头 wǒ yǒu dàtóu. 谢谢。太可爱了。

That's right, xiaodai! You have the entire poem down. Are you really only 7 years old?

Man2Toe I chuckle everytime I watch it : O I think it's 阿媽; that's a hint to who she is. Here's another hint: my brother's kids first started calling her 阿媽...perhaps the lesson below is relevent... http://chinesepod.com/learnchinese/introducing-oneself-to-the-family/discussion

dai, please morph back to our generation. Do you think your students will take a nihilistic 6-year-old seriously? ;)

Ok, Henning. You win.

A-ha! I thought you sounded older than a 2nd grader : )

That's not what my wife says.

太好笑了！！！

I thought I'd drag this out of the lost and found and share...it's my mom with whom I will be visiting Taiwan this week. See if you understand what she says...
