When I told John's preschool teachers that we would be moving to China, we found out that one of them lived in Shanghai for four years before moving to Austin! She has made it a point to take John aside and start teaching him a few Mandarin words. That's a good thing, considering the conversation John and I had the other day:
Me: John, to say "thank you" in Chinese, you say "xie xie" (pronounced "shay shay")
John: Oh, Mama, don't be silly. That's not a word.
