in noodad » Want Your Kids to Speak Chinese? Watch Nihao Kai Lan on Noodad
My daughter loves this show. She is only 1 so it is not quite age appropriate. However, Boobah and Teletubbies do NOT appeal to her. My only problem is that when I am watching this I would like to say the Mandarin words along with the show so that my daughter gets a better understanding. But (and maybe it's just me) when different characters say the Mandarin words it sounds like they are all pronouncing them differently. For instance at the beginning of a word subtly it may sound either like t, th or sh. I have no doubt that my daughter hears the sound they are really saying but my brain just isn't processing it. I think Nick should put up a guide to each episode with the Mandarin words they will use and show how they are pronounced so that parents like myself can participate more easily. Other than that great show, my daughter doesn't like anything else as much as this not even DORA!
