Chinese Class

We are fortunate enough to be getting Chinese classes twice a week which are taught by one of the vice principals of the school.  It is a hilarious 1 hour in which we spend most of trying to learn how to pronounce the alphabet and figure how to say the tones of the vowels.  I am getting no better than I was on the first day I arrived in China with my very limited vocabulary of Ni Hao (hello) and Xie Xie (thank you).  The class also has the benefit of not only being a language class but also a drawing class. I have included some of my lame attempts at character drawing.
