Photo of the Month March 2008
March 1st, 2008
Here is the boy, hard at work already. Studying his characters.
He isn’t going to waste any time!
The question remain about both languages though. I know it’s March and the boy is only what, 4 months? But there are a lot of people asking already about teaching the boy English or Chinese or both. We’d like to teach him both but are unsure how to really do it.
One thing is for sure. The best thing for him is to have both languages or maybe even three if at all possible. When the boy grows up he is going to be a bridge to both cultures. Sometimes we joke that he’ll probably correct my Chinese and my wife’s English!!!
Crazy. Imagine that!

I have a young cousin who is only 9 years old. She went to UK at the age of 6. I met her last month and we talked in English. I tried to teach her some Chinese culture like how to be polite to the seniors. You know what , she corrected my English all the time, like “We don’t say ‘never say old’, we say ‘dont’ say old’…” . I think it’s fun to have a little teacher in a family, because we are teachers for too long.
