The two workshops held last week were very interesting. We folded paper zongzi, painted eggs, and made egg holders. We had a lot of fun. I hope there will be more events like this. #dragonboatfestival #ricedumplings

Learning Mandarin is a colorful journey. There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching (《道德经》): 千里之行，始于足下 (拼音：Qiān lǐ zhī xíng，shǐ yú zú xià), which means “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Have you taken the first step in learning Mandarin?
