Celebrating UN Chinese Language Day: Rachel’s Chinese Adventure! ๐
Hey everyone! Did you know that April 20 is UN Chinese Language Day? ๐จ๐ณ It’s a special day to celebrate the Chinese language and the rich culture behind it.
Meet Rachel Weiss, an American teenager who moved to China with her family. At first, learning Chinese felt like cracking a secret code! But Rachel was up for the challenge. ๐บ๏ธ๐ช
She started by learning simple words like ‘nว hวo’ (hello) and numbers. Sometimes, she mixed up words and said funny things by accident! ๐ For example, once she wanted to say she was full after a meal but accidentally said she was fat! Everyone laughed, and she laughed along. It was all part of the learning journey.
As Rachel kept practicing, she began to understand more and could chat with her new friends. She discovered Chinese festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival where people eat mooncakes. She even learned to write some Chinese characters. ๐๏ธ
Learning Chinese opened up a whole new world for Rachel. She could understand Chinese songs, watch movies, and learn about Chinese history. ๐
‘Mistakes are okay,’ Rachel says. ‘They help me learn and make new friends!’ ๐
On this UN Chinese Language Day, we celebrate learners like Rachel who embrace new languages and cultures. Maybe you might want to try learning a new language too! It could be Chinese or any other language that interests you. Who knows what adventures await? ๐
