I will be arriving in Shanghai with my husband and 5 month old baby on March 15 and will be looking for a full time ayi (live in or live out). As I think the best way to find a good ayi is through a recommendation, I was wondering if maybe you heard about an ayi that was looking for a job. I'm from Belgium and speak pretty ok chinese (I know you through chinese pod :). Well, if you ever do hear something, please let met know. Thanks in advance! Marie Hi Jenny,

There are only a few, and I literally mean a few, places where Mandaring is taught. And those venues are basically located in Manhattan. The newly arrived Chinese immigrant population is moving throughtout the metro area and points beyond. New York City alone has four Chinatowns and I'm pretty sure the powers -to -be are totally unaware that a New York City metro area strategy for learning Mandarin is going to be necessary very soon.
