A Word from Your Editor
(with a humble bow)
Hey there, friend!
Welcome to Kaifeng Talkin' School, where we learn to yack just like folks do down by the river and under the shade trees.
You're gonna meet Elder Bro Zhao, Second Bro Zhao, Sweet Xiang, Joyful Ni'er, and Wang the Gal. They're a lively bunch, always up for a good story or a laugh. We got Old Egg the dog runnin' around and Veggie the kitten snoozin' in the sun—you'll see 'em pop up here and there, causin' a ruckus.
Here, y'all will pick up local words, clever sayings, and try out some fun games. Might trip over a tongue or two at first, but stick with it and you'll be gabbin' like you grew up in Kaifeng!
Just a tip: don't go learnin' from folks hollerin' in a quarrel—those words won't help you none when it comes to talkin' polite or passin' any tests.
Ready? Let's get started!
