Welcome

Welcome to our Chinese German learning blog with the name "Ni Hallo" (a mixture of the Chinese and German words for hello). We are two international students who met at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jessica is from China, Thomas from Germany. When we were getting to know each other we started learning about each others' language, which has been a very fun and exciting experience. With this blog we want to capture some of this in the form of "paired" language lessons. Some for Chinese, some for German. If you are intersted in one (or maybe both!) of these languages as well as some cultural background we invite you to listen to some of our podcasts.

Until next time we say: "Zàijiàn" and "Auf Wiedersehen".
