It's been a while since I've had the chance to post anything! It's been a busy two weeks as my nephew came to visit me in Seattle. We both have our birthday's in April, just five days apart, so it's a special time for both of us. I hope we can try to spend our birthday's together every year!

Speaking of my nephew, do you know
who a nephew is? There are so many terms used to describe family members. Can you figure it out from the chart below?

English terms for family members is less specific than other languages such as Chinese.
All the terms in English are very general, unlike Chinese where there would be specific terms used for "sister" to distinguish between "older sister" and "younger sister" this does not happen in English except if you say specifically "younger" or "older."

Do you have any nephew or nieces?
