My Early Start: Learning Chinese

Learn Chinese "head, shoulder, knees, and toes" song

Some customers of the Early Start Mandarin dvds have asked for the lyrics of the "heads, shoulders, knees, and toes" song in pin yin.  We've posted under the Resources tab on our website, MyEarlyStart.com.  The song is in Volume 4: My Healthy Body,  and we've asked Hope to sing it again here.  Enjoy!

Your kids (and you) will probably love the videos from Singapore's "Speak Mandarin" campaign.

Look who speaks Mandarin!

It seems more and more people in North America are having their children learn Mandarin in school.  I saw this article on line today, which I found interesting.  Willow Smith in Norway

Book Expo America in New York City

Well, we made it back from yet another great Book Expo America show!  It was a quick trip, and although we did not exhibit this year, it was still well worth our time and effort.  We met with several distributors, including digital distributors like Overdrive, that will mean more extensive distribution of our Early Start Mandarin dvds to schools, libraries, and retail stores. 

We visited the children's pavilion, which had many vendors with wonderful books for children.  There was also a Spanish language section and an Arabic section.  Maybe there will be a Chinese pavilion in the near future?

It is always wonderful to visit New York City. It's always so exciting to travel around town on the subway and walk around the various neighborhoods.  We had a wonderful dinner at Da Silvano Restaurant in Greenwich Village, and another at The Kitchen Club restaurant in SoHo.  We even saw Nicolas Cage being filmed on 6th Avenue!  We'll be waiting for the movie to come out!

Now that we're back home, it's back to work!  We'll keep you updated on our next exhibit.
