Welcome to the debut episode of "Once Upon a Time, Twice with Ms. Rachel Xi"! In this first episode, I will read the adorable story for little ones at bedtime, "Good Night, I Love You" by Caroline Jayne Church. It's a beloved series that holds a special place in my heart, since they were the first books I ever read to my children when they were babies. This book is a gift from one of my sweet dancers in class Chasey when I taught Biology in high school

I translated the book completely on my own, as I have done for many years with my own children. I believe in immersion when it comes to learning a language, and I'm excited to share this story with you first in English then in Mandarin Chinese, just like I do with my children.

Don't forget to follow, like and subscribe to my podcast and share with any friend who values learning Mandarin or English. It is my hope that my immersive storytelling can help kids and adults alike to learn either language, and gain new knowledge through every short episode.
