Will you teach your kids Chinese?

If they atleast know how to talk in it, I will be happy

 

yeah, id teach my kids chinese for sure, i'd teach them piano and etc etc tooo like stereotypical chinese parents lol. cant let my children not know how to speak chinese!!! ive seen parents who dont speak chinese to their kids when theyve just migrated to aust from china or something cos they're scared that their children wouldnt be able to adapt, now their kids don't remember how to speak chinese. i pity them.

 

hell yea, they better learn chinese. I won't teach them, but i would send them to some school where they can learn about their cultures and stuff. I think all chinese kids should learn more about their culture because its something that they can be proud of and relate to in life.

 

yes! I feel kinda ashamed that I don't know how to read/write in chinese... but atleast I can speak it (badly, but still can speak it!). My kids will probably blame me in the future if I didn't teach them anyways. haa

 

since I cannot read/write Chinese I'll try my best to teach them to speak Chinese but I worry they will learn my wrong accent and not everyone can understand them.

 

i would because like my parents and every body else said that the more language u know the better u are.

 

yea...why not? its good to kno more than 1 language

 

Yeah, when I have kids, I'm gonna make sure they atleast know how to speak it.... 'Cause I personally don't think a Chinese home's a home unless we speak Chinese. =3

Then I might send them to a primary and high school which have compulsory Chinese studies, unlike mine, which have compulsory Jap and French. lol.

 

heck yeah I will tech my children chinese. I will not only tech them chinese I will teach them how to be traditionally chinese. I will teach them how to written chinese. Chinese history, Chinese literature, Chinese culture, Chinese kung fu, etc. I don't want my children to be american born chinese with no common respect to other.

 

Of Course

 

of course or else they wont be able to talk about different races behind their backs xD hehe

 

of course, it's an advantage to have more than one language.

 

argh! yeah i think its a shame when chinese people only know how to speak english too. Well either that, or their chinese is a little rusty coz they haven't used it in a while. I'll def teach my kids chinese and other languages. The more the better. Although I think knowing english is quite good for learning other languages too. But yeah - some things you can only say in chinese like funny sayings and stuff so yeah - they're missing out.

 

i definitely will! though i'll have to improve my own skills first

 

definatelyy.. send them 2 chinese skool untill GCSE for definate @ Least .. i ahet chinese skool sumtimes, but i mean its good for me

besides, china takin over the worlllddd haha

 

I Think It's Important To Teach Your Kids Chinese. Teaching Them The Traditions Of The Far East.......as For When They Start School,they Would Learn English From There.
I Also Know,here In Uk....they Are Starting To Teach Mandarin In Some Schools!

 

Yea i would definetely teach them chinese.. feels weird communicating wif dem in english evvery single day

 

Since I only can speak chinese I will try to teach them. I'd like it because it is more difficult for me to learn it now than if I was 2 or 3 years old.
Even if my husband won't be chinese I will try my best to keep this language.

 

the opportunities you could have in china if you can speak / read chinese and english is amazing now, def will want my kids to speak it. Not only b/c of that, also b/c its there heritage and for them to speak to their grandparents.
