介绍:
"Teach your children Chinese" was one of the mantras that he always had. Because we really believe that the finest gift that we can give to them is the ability to speak Mandarin. From the very beginning, we wanted it to be a mother tongue, which meant having a Chinese mother in the home, which I'm not. So, we've had a full-time lao shi (teacher) in the home with the girls since they were born. So, they grew up; the same way they learned English is how they learned Chinese, just completely through immersion.
I think one of the problems in Singapore, the reason kids don't like Chinese is because everybody is going for tuition and everything they're learning is toward the grade, and prepping for exams, as opposed to learning Chinese to love it, to really understand it and to understand the culture, the food and the place.
