Panda's Learning Sichuan Chinese?
Wanted: language tutor for panda - The Independent. Sichuan Dialect? I guess the workers speak that and are more comfortable with that. I would have expected Mandarin. I am working on teaching my new dog Mandarin as well as commands in English. Labels: panda
Baby Panda School!
Yes, there are baby panda kindergartens. The cute little animals are given "instruction" on skills that will help them survive when they are released to the wild again. There are a lot of videos in Chinese, but here is one English article about panda school. There are several pictures you can also view. Nope, you may not enroll in this school, even if they are all so cute and adorable.

Peaceful Pandas
 In China, pandas symbolize peace. It is believed that the panda is the embodiment of the yin and yang, due to its black and white color. People believe that the panda's peaceful demeanor symbolizes the peace and harmony that results to when the yin and yang are perfectly balanced. During the Xizhou Dynasty, it was recognized that the panda has never been observed to attack people or other animals. Thus, during war time, when one warring side raised the flag with a drawing of the panda, it was a signal for cease fire. Thus, temporary peace would ensue. Even today, pandas still symbolize peace. This can be seen from when China gifts (or recently, loans) these cute animals to other nations in this modern day and age, as a symbol of peace with that other country. This week, ChildBook celebrates the peaceful panda in our Weekly Discount section. Some panda books that your child may like from ChildBook: Labels: panda
Even Pandas Learn Chinese!
This week we are having Panda Sale week, and will be including more articles about this peaceful, Chinese animal.Are your kids having a hard time learning Chinese? Tell them pandas are learning Chinese, so they can too! Last Friday, 2 of the world's most famous pandas are back on Chinese soil and they will be getting Chinese classes as well. Tai Shan, 4, and Mei Lan, 3, arrived in Chengdu, China last February 26, 2010. They have gone back home as part of the deal with the US that adult pandas are to return home when they turn 3. The pandas will go their separate ways after. Tai Shan will be go home to Bifengxia Panda Base. Mei Lan goes on to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Interestingly enough, both pandas will be having teachers to be taught Chinese. Tai Shan will be immersed in Mandarin while Mei Lan will be immersed in the Sichuan dialect. Read more about the CNN article about the pandas . I think Tai Shan will be able to appreciate Mandarin if he sees how Bao Bei panda or Little Pim is speaking it and sharing to kids Mandarin words and phrases that are useful to kids.

Panda's to Taiwan
Interesting politics... China pandas lift off for Taiwan - AP When linked the Panda's names, "Tuan Tuan" and "Yuan Yuan" mean "reunion" in Chinese. I enjoyed seeing a Panda baby in Washington DC's zoo, as well as Panda's closer to home in San Diego. One of my first stuffed animals was a Panda Bear I think my Father had gotten in Thailand.
