The Girl From China At work we finally have a student from China. She only speak Chinese, now I desperately want to learn that language too. For me, Chinese is very hard, the tones make a difference in wording. I am so lost, and the girl must feel lost too. We will be getting three more students, and I am sad I do not know enough to talk to them. When they cry I cannot say, "I am here, talk to me." or "I am sorry you are sad, shall I sit with you?" It's hard to watch her tears when she misses dad. I understand, but I cannot tell her so. Please help. Universe send me the way, and I will work hard to learn.
