Ryan's Magic Pen

Ryan has been attending chinese tuition for the past 1.5 months and seems to made little progress. Mainly it's because he's very new to the language and he has not been doing any revision at home. Nevermind, as long as he does not drop out and since have interest to attend. We also understand that learning a new language is quite challenging especially so if it's not being spoken at home.

Besides attending classes, we also "invested" in this device simply known as "magic pen" where one can just use the pen to touch the words in the special books (There are 4 books altogether) and viola, out comes the pronunciation. Very helpful for parents like us who does not know the language. At first, Ryan was intrigued with the pen and like every toy he owns, his interest with the new gadget seems to diminish over time The last time he used the magic pen was 1.25 months ago. Shall get him to do more revision.
