Check out this funny video! Some people might find it a bit offensive, but put politics aside, this is indeed very cute, the old lady, the cop...
Without being physically in Beijing, it's hard to imagine such madness about English. I am also proud of and moved by people in Beijing who are willing to put so much effort to learn English just to show the hospitality to the world. The Beijing Olympics certainly got a lot of helps from these lovely folks.

I've been a loyal reader of Yahoo! headlines. Not that I favor its news over others like CNN, BBC, just simply I need to check my email among other things.

Not the first time I heard this song on the radio. But it seems all I can remember is "Oh it's what you do to me". Finally I decide to google it. It turns out it's "Hey There Delilah" by the rock band Plain White T's. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_There_Delilah)

When I first came to US, I felt like a deaf and dumb. Although I had been learned English for many years already, I only learned it from text book and I didn’t communicate with others in English back in my home country at all. I did realize the real world is totally different than the text book. Then I started to look for the resources to improve my language skill. One of the church closed to my apartment offered free Spoken English classes to the foreigners. Basically, you just went there twice a week and talk to someone to learn the language and the culture on a one-on-one basis.

In her new book (http://www.fortunecookiechronicles.com) due March 2008, she answers many interesting questions about Chinese food. One of them is "Fortune cookie is not Chinese", which surprises the author herself (as an American born Chinese, ABC for short) before she started to write the book.

Good news for parents who want to have bilingual kids: Ni-Hao, Kai-lan, Nick Jr. 's new animated series launches at 11 a.m. today. I haven't watched the show yet, but the preview looks very good.
