It's all Chinese to me

Today was my first day in my Oakland Chinese class. At first, I was not only unnerved by the new situation and people, but also by not understanding what people were saying. We sang several of my favorite songs in Chinese like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but I buried my head in Mommy's shoulder. The teacher encouraged all the kids to repeat words, and I almost started crying until the teacher took the pressure off me and stopped asking me. But then we did some crafts to learn the names of body parts, and I started feeling much better. And, 老师 [laushi or teacher] gave us a Chinese music CD so now I really like the class, and always want to listen to the CD!
