KNEE HOW! TSIGH JEN!

If you are wondering what "knee- how", and "tsigh- jen" mean, just ask your Kindergartners.  We have begun a new adventure with a new friend named Mr. O'Brian. Twice a week, Mr. O'Brian and his friend Mae Mae (a panda bear) come to visit. They are teaching us how to speak in Chinese. We are having a great time learning to say things in this new language. It's amazing how quickly the children are learning. Here are some of the things we have learned so far:
      knee how - hello
      tsigh jen - good bye
     sheh sheh - thank you
     pie show - clap hands
     ting - listen
     kahn - look
     joo show - raise your hand
     ching dzwoe - sit
     jahn tshee lie - stand up
     pah pie show - clap your hands
     dchow - jump
     fay chong how - good job
     how - good
     zjeh shir shen ma - what is this?
     kye shur - start
     woe djahw - my name is__________.

Awesome right???!!!
