What we have learnt about the language is we get to know the Chinese characters better.

What we have learnt about the culture is we already knew that from movies and we could understand how it is done properly.

I have learnt about the culture that the lantern, denglong, represents merit and joy and there is a festival dedicated to denglong shows that people watch with their families during the Chinese New Year. As for the language, this is the first time that I hear Chinese with a purpose of understanding. There are a lot of unfamiliar sounds and the script requires visual memory.
