About

Who is Friday named after? Why is October the tenth month yet "octo" means eight? Why is the rat the first Chinese year and the cat is not on the list?
My dearest knowledge seekers, In this series, I shall go through all their name origins, and not just the word, but also the mysterious story behind them. In each session, we will learn about one day of the week, one or two months, and one or two Chinese years.
In every session, we will combine different activities with the main material. We will research what they are called in other languages and what are some significant meanings that they have in other cultures. From time to time, we will also play different games for review!
Now, what are you still waiting for, come with me and start on this amazing journey!!!
