Do you know early exposure to Mandarin language will help her in the future if she ever decided to pick it up later?<BR/><BR/>Hi Tennen, thanks for linking but I don't read Japanese, so sorry!<BR/><BR/>Thanks noobcook. <BR/><BR/>Yes Food for Tots, I taught them since babies how to be independent. Evy is very mature in thinking because I never treated her as a little kid, whatever knowledge I have I feed into her, I am encouraging her to use her head to think and solve problem now.<BR/><BR/>谢谢Jean. We subscribed to Chinese channels too and once I saw a show where they promote people in China to learn and speak English. How to speak without the Chinese accent (you know certain Chinese accent is very strong) and how they incorporate dancing and singing into teaching English and trying to motivate the Chinese and making learning English fun. I tell you I was real impressed. Perhaps those parents instead of speaking broken English to their kids, should sent them to English school or let them watch lots of English educational cartoons (not the English shows here, too much violence, sex and culture differences that better not to learn from :P).Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-15233790456110232622009-04-09T04:31:00.000-06:002009-04-09T04:31:00.000-06:00在外国还坚持和孩子用华语交谈。很好!!我国却有些不会英语的在家和孩子用英语交谈,结果孩子的英语全部是...在外国还坚持和孩子用华语交谈。很好!!我国却有些不会英语的在家和孩子用英语交谈,结果孩子的英语全部是华文直接翻译,华语又不三不四,真凄凉。。。Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994560476608323570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-91160677514877356182009-04-09T02:25:00.000-06:002009-04-09T02:25:00.000-06:00Your girls are so mature in thinking and independe...Your girls are so mature in thinking and independence at their age.

I have to admit, I really love it though, knowing that this is my last baby. I may try to move her into her room which is her play room (actually, the whole house is), when she starts school in the fall. I wish I had spoken Chinese to my kids, but unfortunately, because it's not my first language, my comfort level in speaking is not great. My husband is half french and Canada's official languages are french and english but I think that Chinese would serve her better in the future. I think it's too late for any of my kids now. Hopefully, they will have the urge to learn it when they are older.

Yes, that's the only public school in my district offering Mandarin class from K-G5 because the founder believed Mandarin is going to be the world language and he wants to prepare the little kids here to be ahead. This school is new, only 1 year old, imagine 5 years down the road and all graduated American kids from this school will know the basic of Mandarin in Colorado Springs!! <BR/><BR/>Oh you were right. Edda did have a growth spurt on her speaking ability. I can see she is trying to learn, but slow. One thing good is she always bring me story book and ask me to read to her.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Mrs. JP. Definitely trying to enjoy the new found space, right now my room feels so empty.<BR/><BR/>Mae :)<BR/><BR/>Okay Gert. :) I just couldn't help to combine the two and see how slow and behind she is. :PLittle Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-78575524918451711332009-04-08T09:29:00.000-06:002009-04-08T09:29:00.000-06:00your girls are so adorable!your girls are so adorable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-54097642497284136272009-04-08T08:50:00.000-06:002009-04-08T08:50:00.000-06:00Your two girls are just adorable.
