Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com! You learned a lot the last time you agreed to watch your niece…and this time, the joke’s on her. Yes, last time, she thought she was so smart because she knew the Chinese names for so many insects in your garden. But she is only five years old, and you are pretty sure that you have her this time! You have a bug day planned – of gardening again. She loves it, and it is an excellent chance for you to show off your new Chinese insect vocabulary that you have been practicing. As you follow her out into the flower garden, she looks back at you with those big patronizingly sweet eyes and says in Chinese, “Look, what is this bug called?” Oh, she’s fast: she thinks you don’t know this answer. You kneel down next to her, sneer on your face, and reply sweetly in Chinese, “Honey, that is a spider, and it looks like it’s protecting itself from you.” Astonished, she whips her head around to face you and replies with a simple, “Oh.” You point to another bug nearby and explain in Chinese, “And look here, the cicadas are climbing up the tree.” She stares at you in disbelief and replies in Chinese, “I don’t want to look at bugs any more, let’s go work in the garden!” Looks like you beat her at her own game AND get some help with that unruly garden too!

As your professor approaches the podium, he starts up the projector and begins showing slides of what appears to be animals from Australia. You are thoroughly confused now. He explains in Chinese, “Your test results on the last exam were so bad that I decided I would give you an easy bonus grade. For each of these animals that you can name in Chinese, I will give you five points on your exam…and believe me, you ALL need it!” With that, the class erupts into applause…but not you.

We were at the pond and we saw something moving in the water!!” His friend, equally excited, continues in Chinese, “Come see, come see!! Pleeeease! What IS it?” Laughing, both out of relief and because they are adorable, you agree to go explore the depths of the pond with them. As you reach the edge of the water, both boys are tugging at you and screaming in Chinese, “See it? There it is!! What is that???” You move a little closer to get a better look, almost stumbling into the water (which you are SURE they would have enjoyed tremendously), when you realize what it is they are talking about. You point to the little swimmer in the water and tell the boys in Chinese, “That is a frog…and that one there, that is a newt.” The boys stare into the water with a newfound fascination; you can almost hear the wheels spinning in their heads, when they turn and look at you and both reply in Chinese, “Can we keep him, can we keep him?
