We have long-awaited this moment: the moment we can unveil a project we hope to work on during the duration of our stay in China.
We hope this will give friends and family a window into our everyday lives as well as contribute something valuable to the homeschool community.
Introducing…Hold the MSG.com. This is a new site we launched a while ago, but was apparently hacked or something and vanished in time for me to discover it, earlier today, but it is all better now, in time for the moment to unveil it. Our first video is live and ready to be viewed.
You’ll have to excuse my appearance. I was a little nervous about video in the first place, and figures the first day we scheduled our video, I was feeling the effects of jet lag and fighting a cold. However, the show must go on!
We’d LOVE to hear your feedback. Take a look on over at www.holdthemsg.com.

Hello to our Chinese family. Great first lesson. We learned to say hello in Chinese. Can’t wait to use it. When you go to a Chinese restaurant here in Canada or America do they speak Cantonese or Mandarin? We absolutely love the cast.

If you go to a Chinese restaurant in North America, you will very likely find Cantonese cuisine and Cantonese speakers, from the first wave of Chinese immigration (Hong Kong). Some of those people may speak Mandarin, but not necessarily. Fortunately, your daughter spent a little time in Hong Kong too, so I can help you out: in Cantonese, say, “Nei (like the Old English “nay”) “ho” (like Santa says it) “ma” (like on Little House on the Prairie). You’re on your own with the tones because they’re hard to indicate in WordPress and in Cantonese, there are nine. :) We’re pretty fond of the cast ourselves. Thanks for taking time away from suntan-getting to take a peek.
