I think you’re right but, also that people will often use Chinese to mean Mandarin day to day as <a href=\"https://micro.blog/KyleEssary\">@KyleEssary</a> says. I tried to talk to my Chinese wife about it and she says ‘Chinese’ is fine. Though, I wonder what speakers of the other language would say. As another data point, at school Chinese colleagues will says ask children to use 中文 and not 普通话.</p>\n","url":"https://micro.blog/Omrrc/76114029","date_published":"2025-10-19T04:52:52+00:00","author":{"name":"Omar","url":"http://omrrc.com","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Fmicro.blog%2FOmrrc%2Favatar.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"Omrrc"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2025-10-19 04:52","date_timestamp":1760849572,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":true}},{"id":"76112690","content_html":"<p><a href=\"https://micro.blog/Munish\">@Munish</a> Watching the show has made me want to go back to the books!</p>\n","url":"https://micro.blog/Omrrc/76112690","date_published":"2025-10-19T04:12:17+00:00","author":{"name":"Omar","url":"http://omrrc.com","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Fmicro.blog%2FOmrrc%2Favatar.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"Omrrc"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2025-10-19 04:12","date_timestamp":1760847137,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":true}},{"id":"75457170","content_html":"<p><a href=\"https://micro.blog/val\">@val</a> Most of the conversations around teaching I have feel similar to that sentiment.

It’s such a horribly tricky balance to maintain.</p>\n<p>As a Year 1 teacher, I would put writing  after speaking and reading. At least to start. “Children need to be able to say it before they can write it.”  Our challenge is that for most of our students English is a second language and they often lack confidence to put words down on the paper. We focus a lot on reading lots to them and getting them talking first.</p>\n<p>So… Depending on where your daughter is now I would focus on speaking and reading first - which it seems like you’re doing! My feeling is if she says it’s boring, then you trying to do more will likely have the opposite effect. That if you want to support her writing then you need to be trying to include it in daily life and not make it like lessons (boring). Writing shopping lists, drawing pictures and labelling them or creating and illustrating stories, orally retelling events and from there encouraging writing about them. Writing without it being a lesson!</p>\n","url":"https://micro.blog/Omrrc/70513296","date_published":"2025-08-04T23:34:40+00:00","author":{"name":"Omar","url":"http://omrrc.com","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Fmicro.blog%2FOmrrc%2Favatar.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"Omrrc"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2025-08-04 23:34","date_timestamp":1754350480,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":true}},{"id":"70463867","content_html":"<p><a href=\"https://micro.blog/Munish\">@Munish</a> Ha!
