Chinese lesson for Asher
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007We asked a fine young Chinese guy called Calvin to come around to our place on a paid basis to play with Asher and strictly use Chinese.
Calvin works locally, and I got chatting to him and offerred that he come around and teach Asher. It turns out that Calvin is from Wuhan, where we lived for six months last year.
It worked very well. I expected much worse, but Asher was very willing to play and converse in his beginner’s Chinese. Of course Asher did a poo as soon as Calvin arrived, and needed a nappy change. And towards the end of Calvin’s stay there was a bit of a temper tantrum. To be honest I didn’t think Asher would put up with the whole thing at all. He’s only a bit over 2½.
We’re having Calvin over again on Friday. Looking forward to it.
