Let's add more fun to your learning journey!

I’ve hand selected this lovely Chinese pop song for you to learn “Mice Love Rice - lǎo shǔ ài dà mǐ (老鼠爱大米)". 

I know mice love cheese in the west but in China, mice love rice. ^_^

This song is perfect for you because:

•          It’s romantic
•          It’s well-known
•          The lyrics are simple
•          The melody is catchy
•          The words you’re going to learn are useful.

I transcribed the song for you into English, Pinyin and Chinese characters so you can follow along as you watch the video.  

I hope you enjoy mastering the song and rocking out like a pro next time you're at Karaoke!
