This is awesome... it's like this mother and little girl purposely had a Newbie-level conversation just for your benefit!

The little girl may be a little hard to understand (kids often are), but the mother repeats a lot of it quite clearly.

Check it out: 乖乖吃蛋糕 (guāi guāi chī dàngāo)

Awwww...that was better than my "Sarah makes dumplings" I made in Shanghai since she was too into 包饺子! While at the same time I was trying to get her to speak more English (yes, that voice is mine). But when I asked her to "Show me how" she thought I was saying "Ni hao!" ha ha.

This is an excellent newbie lesson. Btw, the mother speaks with a Taiwanese accent.
