Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com. Have you ever thought about running for President? What about Prime Minister or maybe Secretary General of the United Nations? Almost anything is possible these days, but the world is changing quickly. If you want to succeed in politics, Chinese is the language to know. Not only will it let you speak directly to one of the fastest growing constituencies in most countries, but mandarin will also give you an edge-up conducting international business and diplomacy. So don’t give us lip! That’s why your mother and I have been working so hard to put you through school. You’re breaking our hearts!

Learning Chinese with ChineseClass101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Chinese. In this Intermediate Chinese lesson, we learn about the various pressures Chinese parents often put on their children to succeed, and also about ways Chinese children fight back! This is a lesson intended for everyone who’s ever dreamed of taking a stand on a policy issue and running for office…and we’re doing it in a foreign language. So listen up, and then come back to ChineseClass101.com for more fantastic lessons. And leave us a message while you’re here.

Australia has already had one with Kevin Rudd. How long do you think it will be until the United States has a Chief Executive who speaks mandarin?

I tweeted this lesson: Great lesson on Prez Aspirations. Thought of 3 comics from this 1 lesson. 外国人说英文“奥巴马”说错了!太搞笑了!故意吗?

Hi Magnus,

Did I get his name wrong? Dammit. Definitely unintentional if so.

是不是這課 Echo 說她乖?
當我在台灣學習中文的時候我跟我的老師有很多問題.我們得用生子造句子.
我的老師不喜歡我造的句子. 一位老師問我我有沒有心理問題; 問我我父母怪不怪我?
Echo 說的是 “乖” 還是 “怪”? 我的老師說的是 “乖” 還是 “怪”?
如果孩子不聽父母,父母有沒有責任或權利怪孩子?

@careyxxx,

對,我說了“乖”,意思是很聽話,不做讓別人不高興的事情。

“怪”有“責備、埋怨”的意思,如果孩子不乖,父母可以怪孩子不聽話。
