练习Makes Perfect!

Self-Study


On our long break from language school, we don't want to lose the language ability we gained last semester. The kids work on language for a little while each day as part of their schooling, and Rodney and I still meet with our tutor.

A couple of times each week Rodney and I also have a quiz on an agreed upon set of new and review characters. If you know us at all, it won't surprise you that it gets a bit competitive. Out of our three quizzes so far, and Rodney is up 2-1 (really, his one loss was on a very minor technicality), so I need to study hard to compete!
Studying to even the score!
Amy enjoys practicing her characters using our new calligraphy set..

 Break-time!
