Nkem, my 11-year-old, has been struggling with her Mandarin lately 📚. I made her start classes over a year ago, hoping it would be good preparation when the time comes to study in a Chinese university. Well, this week she came home and asked me, “Mom, why do we study HSK?” Instead of getting mad, I picked her brain further, and she went on about how she found the language classes interesting but she'd appreciate more motivation. That got us talking about scholarships! She perked up when I mentioned some of the scholarship opportunities available for proficient Mandarin speakers, including the ones right here in China. It’s not just about getting good grades in HSK levels anymore. There are scholarships tied to language proficiency! 💸 This has opened our eyes to the bigger picture. Now we're both more energized about our language journey. It’s not only about learning a new language but also opening doors to incredible opportunities. I wish I had known earlier... maybe we’d be further along in this journey. Sharing this hope with you all, to keep our kids encouraged in their Mandarin studies, knowing it could lead them to chase those scholarship dreams 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️!

D'accord, back to Africa! 🌍 Au retour de Chine, un bon conseil: essayez de travailler avec une entreprise qui a des liens en Chine. Cela peut être une opportunité de développer les compétences acquises ici. And remember, adapting back home may take some time. Take your time and stay positive. 🌟 Jettez-y un œil sur des opportunités dans la Chine-Afrique, peut-être? #Di 대해의MandarinTip 今天我们学习了什么今でも言(CLY QEU)？Hakka jaaxle! (What did we learn today?)

Y’all remember that time in Lagos, when you just wake up on a Sunday and your cousin is oyinbo decided to start chasing your kids around the house, making them laugh uncontrollably? I had that deja vu moment right here in China. 😂 My neighbour has a 4-year-old son, a genuinely curious kid who speaks more languages than I care to remember (throwback to the School of hard knocks, Obiwon vibes, abi?🚬). Anyway, this week, this little mugu traipsed into our house while we were having an abeg-o-abeg meal of jollof rice “rice” and beans. He was chatting away with the kids in Mandarin or whatever and my omo was loving it. He pulled out his toys, every colour of the crayon box basically, and played with my kids. I swear, this Nigerian food was too spicy for him but he tried it anyway (8/10 will hit my mama’s kitchen again), because you know, “when in Rome...” 🤔 #OyaTryAm #MixAndMatch I could see it in their eyes, mingling of cultures, and the best part...we were all hooping and laughing like it was our everyday life. Cannot lie, I enjoyed the cultural exchange and seeing my kids adjust so smoothly. Truly, this life in China is not all wahala it’s meant to be. 🤷‍♂️😅
