March News
Second, we're changing our name to the Colorado Chinese Language Center. We've started a new website (that looks a lot like the old website) and plan to offer features like forums, a downloads section that allows students to download all of our mp3s, a multi-media section that allows students to play the mp3 files. We hope to have it up and running in time for the next newsletter!
Third, we're considering opening some classes for families. We'd like to create a class that teaches both parents and children. Please let us know families that might be interested.
We'd love to hear from you about other services you would like to see. Please contact us here or by replying to this email with suggestions!
My Most Embarrassing Chinese Language Mistake
I made my biggest mistake early on. I was simply trying to explain how much I love my grandmother. "Wǒ hěn xǐhuān wǒ de nǎi nai."
I had started dating my now wife a few months earlier. We had been spending enough time together that her mother decided it was time to meet me. I didn't really understand how important this meeting was or I would have prepared more. I just hadn't lived in Taiwan long enough to understand the role parents played in their adult children's lives.
So Sharon informs me that we need to have tea with her mother. I agree but feel like I'm 17 and about to meet my girlfriend's mother for the first time. I'm a bit nervous but then what can go wrong?

February Conversation Class
The topic of our conversation class in February will be Chinese New Year. As you may know we are meeting on Sunday, February 14th at 3pm.
You can download and print out a worksheet located here if you would like to prepare. Next month we'll have an mp3 file that goes with the worksheet!
Update: We have had to change the location of the conversation class to Little Shanghai in Denver.
