How to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle" in Mandarin.
You like singing, don't you? I do. It's part of why children are fun. You get to sing without feeling all self-conscious about it.
Here's a song you know, although you might not recognize it at first - this is how you sing it in Mandarin. With your kids, if they'll settle down long enough to do it!
