Chinese lessons

Miewmie is learning Mandarin Chinese and of course I have to help her and make sure she does her 'homework'. Sometimes she spends hours just practising writing chinese characters and I have to remind her to play with me. Sometimes, I even have to remind her that I haven't had my tea yet ! So, for emergency use only, I have secretly learned to write " feed me now": 我现在饲料 I suppose I should remember my manners and say 'thank you', xie xie, 谢谢

Aoise, your miewmie should remember that all work and no playing with her beloved cat makes for an unhappy cat. Keep helping her with her homework, though.

That language looks hard! Good thing you have learned the most important phrase already.

I bet your mum learns a lot faster with you helping.

Aoise - you have very good manners!

We're impressed that you are learning another language, Aoise! Good thing, since it sounds like your Miewmie will be practicing it a lot. She definitely needs to make you a priority during her studies, though.

Have a good weekend,

I wish you and your meiwmie the best of luck learning Chinese. It looks very hard! If she gets too busy learning, just wriggle yourself between her and the papers. . . it works for me!

Yay for wearning Chinese!
You should tell your Miewmie 我肚子餓了 to let her know you're hungwy. Or if she still ignores you, then 我就快要餓暈了 that you're fainting fwom hunger soon.
Hope she won't spend too much time wearning Chinese that she forgets to feed you!

Feed me now, I think it much more close the meaning of : 給我食物。
我現在飼料 it's closing to : I food now.
Anyway, Chinese grammer is very different from English indeed!

Nomi said...

'I food now' sounds great to me. After all, why waste time talking. I need to save my energy for eating !! ha ha

That picture reminded my Mommy of a book she once saw that was entitled something like "Teach your cat to read". We are very impressed that you are learning Mandarin Chinese.

that must take lotsa your mommy's time and brain power to learn such a hard language. we are very impressed. i'm sure it is because of your help that she is learning.

personally, i think you've learned all you need to with the "feed me now"...except maybe you should also learn "pet me now" and "no more flashy box"
