Mini Chinese Lesson:

“你好吗？” — How are you?
“我很好！” — I’m good! 😊

How many “Nǐ hǎo’s” is too many? 😆👋

Apparently… there’s no such thing! 😂

One group after another, our little Chinese learners are starting the school year with lots of smiles, big voices, and LOTS of “Nǐ hǎo!” 🇨🇳❤️

Nǐ hǎo, new school year!
Nǐ hǎo, Chinese class!
Let the fun begin! 🎉🐼
