If Mandarin is used on headsets, it tends to be pretty colloquial and brief ("shoot him, quick!") so I am not sure how much value he would get from that.<br /><br />If you want another way to get him into the culture, consider musicians -- the Mandarin speaking world has a ton of dance-focused youth bands with catchy songs, as well as rockers -- Mayday is one I know, or see what turns up on Google. Good luck ...I Lamonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681877739319223934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493231.post-6759298601172493662010-09-21T22:06:09.050-04:002010-09-21T22:06:09.050-04:00Any thoughts on an MMORPG for a 10 yr old boy lear...Any thoughts on an MMORPG for a 10 yr old boy learning Mandarin? He currently has the proficiency of a 4yr old and next to no literacy. His video collection and textbooks are getting pretty sleepy.
