Lucas has decided to make a series of bilingual cooking videos, so has started simple…good old Boiled Egg and Soldiers 🙂

He hopes the video will help both Chinese kids learning English, and English speaking kids learning Chinese.  The script to the video, with the pinyin added for Chinese learners, is below,
