    would be knda stupid if i ended up marrying a chinese woman, who could only speak english n not chinese as well...won't be realy gd, if communicating wit like me parents or any1 else, cos the majority speak chinese as our main language. English would only be prefered 2 use, with ppl lke me sistas or friends generally.

    I'd enrol my kids in a chinese school coz I can only speak chinese (cantonese & mandarin) but not read/write. I regret that.

    of course why not, 2 language is always better than 1. And in order to keep our native language alive.

    I probably will, but won't force them to learn. My cousins think chinese class is like going to art class. They think chinese characters look like painting <_<

    definitely! being a chinese/ mixed, i guess its essential to acquire cultural heritage ie learning how to speak or write the language.

    I would definitely teach my kids Chinese too :) Canto & Mando! (We all know Canto's better though!)

    I hope no one is taking a poll from this site... everyone here watches Asian TV, so the statistics are going to be biased

    Guess i agree with you, its part of chinese culture, i would be a bit strange to only be able to communicate with your own kids in a 'foreign' language. And it would be sad for them, as chinese not able to speak chinese.

    I know a lot of peeps(foreign) who are very hard trying to learn mandarin, because they like the country or because of the potential of the chinese economy. So why don't grant your children a 'competative advantage' by teaching them chinese as one of their 'mother tongue'. Kids can learn languages best when they are young.

    I think that it is great to teach your children Chinese, I belive that in 10-20 years Chinese will be as important as English.
