This idea was inspirited by nuria2012. She thought “in this forum we could create a section where non-native parents share their vocabulary, especially that vocabulary about babies”. I totally agree.
I am a Chinese native and a mother of three. I teach my kids Chinese via songs, nursery rhymes and books. I would love to share my resources with you. Please post any Chinese children’s song you can find.
I like this cute children’s song. It is from Youtube. Listen and sing along with it! Here is the song words and English translations.
