Charis is dancing~
When I played the music to her
I managed to record it down!
Realised that she response better in Mandarin
and she prefer nursery rhymes in mandarin
Dear find that alright as Chinese is much difficult to learn
We should teach her Chinese first
But I prefer English
Don't want her to end up like us
Strong in chinese, weak in english
which will not benefit her in future
Am I thinking too much

I grew up in a mandarin environment too but my english isn't too bad either. I'm talking to my child in Mandarin too and aiming to teach him Chinese first before English. My nephew was taught Mandarin too from 0-3 years due to my mum not knowing English and now speaks English at 6 years old very proficiently! In fact, even with accent. So no worries.
ReplyDeleteShe will learn English in schools more often than Chinese, or learn English from watching cartoon so we need to speak Mandarin to our child at home more. Chinese is really much more difficult to learn.
