    Well, I don't know as much chinese as I should, so I can't really be the one to 'teach my kids' Chinese... Though if i decide to take the class in college I will be able to. :) Even though I'm pretty sure my parents would be the one to incorporate the language to them. So marrying a chinese girl wouldn't really matter to me. o.o

    I will. If they are going to be as reluctant as I was back when I was young and stupid, there's nothing a gai mo so won't fix.

    Totally, I am totally teaching my kids chinese. Three dialects too! Toisanese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. And the girl that I marry better bring some more dialects so this kid(s) will be super crazy with skills. Seeing Chinese who only speak english is a disgrace. Those kids should be banned, until they learn at least something. Stupid white wanna-be's.

  7. i think you owe it to you heritage, if not yourself to teach your kids their language.

    Yes as there is no harm in learning another language if you speak more than one. It can come in use for them later on :D

    I will definitely teach mym children chinese .
    Even if my husband would be an Austrian or someone who doesn´t understand chinese.
    Because I think it´s very important. It doesn´t harm you to learn a language more.
    For example me, I understand Hindi although I´m chinese.
