Reading in Mandarin

Mummy has been reinforcing all that ive been learning in school. Imagine her surprise when one fine day, i actually read an entire book by myself!

She is particularly chuffed cos just half a year ago, i spoke almost no mandarin, let alone read in mandarin. Looks like its really a good idea to send me to a chinese school!

Here is my grand feat!

Mummy: I think it seems easier for Terelle to learn mandarin words, cos she has a good memory and chinese characters are essentially pictures to be memorised. She still needs lots of help with sounding out english words using phonics though...

Nevertheless, keep up the good work baby! Mummy's so proud of u!
