Word Wednesday (on Thursday)

Mandarin Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language in the world including English. It is spoken throughout China and Taiwan. Our family has the privilege and burden of learning this complex language over the next three years.

Here is your first lesson in the language:

"Nee Hao" pronounced "knee how"
This is the standard greeting in Mandarin meaning "Hello"

If you want to say hello in a southern way then you say, "Ni howdy!"

Is it sad that I already knew "Ni Hao?" (Thanks "Ni Hao Kai lan" - a show on Nick Jr. that Britton used to watch on occasion) Oh the things you learn from the munchkins. :)
