Chinese Class


We went to a Chinese class held today by the Alliance for Children in Wellseley, MA. The overview of some of the basic written and spoken Mandarin Chinese was interesting. With over 56,000 characters, if we can master a few of them it will be a miracle!

The class was held by two employees (Lin Jing and Weihang) from the Alliance for Children who are both native to China. The information provided by them regarding Chinese culture and how much it has changed since 777 B. C. was fascinating.
