I have to start studying my chinese again. My daughter is getting to that stage where we'll have to think about Chinese school soon.
In the Heights area of the Greater LA area, there are plenty to choose from. A far cry from the choices I had in the 80s. Where 2 schools dominated and prices were steep.
I still haven't figured out the pin ying and zhu ying fu hao yet. Has Taiwan converted to Pin Ying and no longer on wade giles? So, does that mean no more Hsu's, Tsao, etc?
In any case, recognizing characters is the better way to go. But its a daunting tasks as practical use of it will be 1% here in the US.
I think I am fighting a losing battle. Both for me and my daughter. There's a saying in Chinese (認命). I must accept eventually.
