No doubt that my kids are gonna learn Cantonese, too bad chinese schools are limited these days in the UK...
Yes, I definitely will, but that depends on whether or not I have kids. I will try to immerse them in some of the customs my parents and grandparents taught me.
lol.... if and when i do have kids then yes i would teach 'em...... but what would i teach 'em...... cantonese or hakka? both?
Most definitely would teach them chinese. It's an awesome language and I totally regret not paying attention in chinese school on sundays which is why i can't read or write chinese X_X
lol....... hmmmm...... i think thats goes for about 99% of the oversea born chinese. A good generation of not being able to read or write, but can speak and understand....... barring my brother who cant do any
sure..y not..china is getting more powerful and predicted will cross over US..its time to learn chingchong..
i will def teach my kids chinese, i'm born in toronto canada and im quite good with my canto because of my parents and would love it to trickle down to my kids as well.
Yes i will for sure i wish pushed more to learn both canto and mando but i will definitely force them to learn it! esp. mando its like taking over the world...
i want my kids to learn chinese, but i know they will be like me and not show much interest. Instead i will introduce that to them in high school and college. I pushed away chinese class when i was a kid and missed my opportunity in high school. I took my first chinese class in college but i wished i took the opportunity in high school.
Teaching chinese to my kids is essential. I have learned that to understand a new language is to accept a new culture and open more doors in ones life.
Would love to teach my kids cantonese. Unfortunately don't think I'll be able to as my canto isn't good enough. so would prob get them to learn off my parents or send them to chinese school. But chinese school was a bit rubbish as i recall. they only read passages out to you and you just had to write certain words over and over again. wasn't that helpful to me hence my rubbish canto. but having kids seems so far away
