Learning Chinese

Tonight as I was teaching English to Wei Wei (my 7 year old step daughter) she was trying to tell me to write my name in Chinese characters just like she writes her name. I tried to tell her that USA kids and adults do not know how to write our names or any words in Chinese. She couldn't believe this so she ran to her mother to ask her if this was true. That kids in USA don't have to learn all the Chinese letters and write in Chinese. After her mother confirmed that this is true--- she still could not believe it. I guess she will have to wait when she arrives in the US to learn what the American school kids learn.

See attached video of Wei Wei's entrance to her school.
