A is for Always

April 2nd 2011 12:52
For 26 days in April (minus Sundays) I will be posting a blog for each letter of the alphabet.
"Sylvie's word of the day"
I am all for challenges, so when this was dangled in front of me in my writers group, I grabbed it.

Hundreds of people signed up, literally 1037 people. Go ahead, Sign up here, if you dare.

This mini adventure is fairly mundane, but with 1000 bloggers jumping in, stalking each other, chatting away everyday, something good is bound to happen.

Always is my word of the day, in honor of ALWAYS learning. Life is too ....oh wait, I'll just quote Henry Miller, he said it best.....


"develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music, the world is simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself." ~Henry Miller

Learning Basic Language Skills

February 3rd 2009 07:40
My daughter is a huge Dora The Explorer fan and needless to say her basic Spanish skills are pretty good because of the programme.


Not as popular as Dora, but equally as cute, is Kai-Lan Chow, a cute little Chinese American girl who is being particularly helpful in teaching my daughter some basic Chinese words. Kai-Lan, like Dora, hangs out with a monkey named Hoho, as well as Tolee the panda and Rintoo the tiger.

Titled Ni Hao Kai-Lan, the program also features YeYe, Kai-Lan's grandfather, wbo is responsible for passing the chinese traditions and customs down to his granddaughter.

Suitable for preschoolers, you have got to love television that is fun as well as semi-educational!!
