Chinese New Year is January 23, 2012 and it's the year of the Dragon! To celebrate, Tristin and Tyler went to the Musem of Chinese In America (MOCA) in Chinatown to learn more about Chinese culture and to meet with Karen Wu Audi, co-founder of aha!Chinese, a company that creates educational products that make learning the Chinese language and culture easy and fun for kids.
WHAT'S COOL!
Let’s Go Guang! Chinese for Children learning kit: aha!Chinese has created a fun learning kit that includes a DVD with animated stories, an audio CD, reference guide, a story book and two sets of flashcards for practice and game playing. Learning Chinese has been such a fun challenge for Tristin and Tyler!
WHY LEARN CHINESE?
Why not? I am a big supporter of anything that exposes the boys to another culture -- something new that they will not learn at home.
CHECK OUT MOCA
We were happy to visit MOCA and learn all about Chinese culture with Karen as our guide! Not only is MOCA an amazing museum with great interactive exhibits on Chinese history and culture, MOCA has lots of fun family events including Famly Drop-in Arts and Crafts days to celebrate the Lunar New Year! YAY CRAFTS!
