Today's new word
你走了 Ni zou le. Literally "you go" but meant in the playing of chess and other games to indicate your turn.
This has actually been Myles' new word this week. A few times we've met a new friend of his in the park or the local Children's Palace to play a few rounds of chess. His friend is only four-and-a-half but is already a very capable chess player. We've shown Myles how the pieces move, and a few things about the goals of the game, but he is very outplayed by his younger friend. This friend has been coached in and practices chess exercises, much like you would use for piano playing or sports. I think I need to get my hands on such a book in English this summer.
