dylan sings in Mandarin

"studying" Mandarin
Originally uploaded by coffywoman.

We’re still taking Mandarin classes wtih Taliana and Heather and this time around, we got a nice book and a CD of songs to facilitate our learning! We popped in the CD the other day and Dylan wanted to hear the Shape Song over and over and over again. The first few times we listened, he colored the accompanying page in his book. When that was done, he was the “teacher.” He was bobbing his head in rhythm, tapping on his knee to the beat and trying to belt out the words. The real Mandarin teacher has a very Music Together-oriented approach (she is, after all, a trained MT teacher, too!), so the CD-book format works very well for Dylan. He was awesome! Hopefully, I’ll be able to post the video soon.
