Ni-How-Ma

Came across an article from Wired about The Mandarin Offensive and the push of the Chinese language in all cultures.

An example of is this an article about the increasing demand for Chinese Nannies in the US. I read somewhere that the salary could go as high as $100,000. Do a search on google for Chinese Nanny and see all the websites that popup.


So, better study that Chinese......

One way is to do it via podcasts.The one I like is called ChinesePod and it is available on iTunes.

And to leave on a funny note, I found this video called Yellow Fever the other day.

    Hey there!
    That yellow fever video was pretty funny... However, I found some other funny videos on the Chinesepod.com website. They are entertaining and educational...
