Sorry for the month long hiatus. I’ve been busy tap dancing and being a performer on stage.
This installment of Chinese Kid Lit returns to the story of the Old Lady Witch who turned into a bench. We rejoin her story many years later.

The Last Magic


American-born Taiwanese girl who married a Japanese guy. And who forgot about six years' of Spanish grammar and most of the vocab.
Korean-American girl who blogs under a Spanish pseudonym because being culturally confusing is fun. Native speakers say that she has outstanding Spanish (which is a definite compliment) and outstanding German (which is most assuredly not).
American-born, Taiwanese guy who took five semesters worth of German and ended up with a major in Linguistics.
