A Little Mandarin giveaway!

We are very excited to team up with Toni Wang to give away 2 copies of her album "A Little Mandarin"! We previously reviewed this excellent CD of Chinese children's music here. You can sample the music on Amazon or through Soundcloud. It was and still is our favorite collection of Chinese children's music. It's easy to buy on Amazon, and the digital album is only $8.99!




 If you're feeling lucky, however, enter our contest to win it for free! We are giving away 2 copies!


Here are the rules and how to enter:


  1. Like us on Facebook
  2. Leave a comment on this blog post about why you want your kids to learn Mandarin (or why you yourself want to learn Mandarin!).
  3. The contest ends 11:59 PM, July 31st, 2015, so like us on Facebook and leave a comment before then!
  4. Winners must respond to us within 24 hours or we will move on to the next lucky person.

We will have a computer program randomly pick two of the comments to be winners. We will announce the winners on our Facebook page, Twitter page, and here on our blog. If you're a winner, contact us on Facebook, Twitter, or the contact us page here on the blog with your email within 24 hours, and we'll arrange to get the CD send out to you. Alternatively, leave your email in the comment and you'll be sure not to miss out.

Good luck and we look forward to reading your comments!




UPDATE: Here are the winners!

Thank you everyone for entering our contest! It was very fun to read everyone's comments and see how motivated so many of you are to teach your kids Chinese. It's inspiring!

 We have 2 winners! Instead of using a computer program, we decided to have a game with our kids. There were 12 entries, so we put 12 scraps of paper into a bucket with our kids and had them draw them. We recorded it, and it's mostly in Chinese, so give it a watch!


Here are the winners and their comments:

      Oh, and I forgot to mention, I want him to learn it because he wants to, because knowing another language is great for life and development, because it's a great way to communicate with lots of people, and because learning about other cultures is amazing!

    My son was learning Mandarin this past year at school. Unfortunately we moved and his new school doesn't offer Chinese. He is super disappointed! I would love for him to continue to learn!
