Mandarin 

I went to Barnard Mandarin Immersion for 3 years from TK  to 2nd grade. It was all Chinese. I left during COVID but I still study Mandarin. I tried online classes but I did not like it. It was too hard to learn. Linda was our first in person tutor. She took us everywhere to practice. We had to order at restaurants, go shopping and go to La Jolla to walk around and talk about things we saw. Ms Amber is our tutor now. She is helping with spelling, tone, writing and speaking. She brings me Asian treats. I really like Amber (see photo) . She wrote me a recommendation letter (see below).

This year,  I did a  Lunar New year presentation to my  class. I talked about what Lunar New Year  is, how it is celebrated and how the zodiak calendar was created. I shared some traditional snacks with my class. I worked with my tutor to  translate some of the banners and the notes on the red envelopes. It was fun to share my language skills and knowledge with my class. (see photo)
