要講什麼語言?

要跟自己的孩子講麼語言. 這個問題一直困擾着我. 我一直希望嘉晨可以掌握兩種語言, 那就是英語和華語. 華語是我的母語也是一個歷史悠久的語言,嘉晨當然要會. 英語是國際語言在職場上扮演着舉足輕重的角色. 尤其是現在的小孩都能講得一口流利的英語因為他們的父母從小都跟他們講英語.我開始擔心嘉晨的語言問題. 我和嘉晨爸的英語都是半桶水, 又要怎樣教嘉晨呢?早知這樣, 我應該找一個英語好的老公. 昨晚, 我跟嘉晨說dark dark liao, go to sleep.你們知道嘉晨怎樣回應我? 這個小瓜既然扮成鴨子走路的樣子還一面講duck duck.他以為我跟他講duck duck. 我也一時傻住,怎樣讀dark duck? 我去找字典duck 的讀音短而dark的讀音比較長. 可我還是不會準確的把它們讀好. 英語的發音是用IPA (International Phonetic Symbol)來拼, 可我從來都沒學過這個IPA拼法. 我那ㄦ會. 大家可有好的教英語拼法website ? 要學一種語言, 我們一定要會拼字才會讀, 會讀就要明白字的意思. 會讀和明白字, 自然而然我們就會記在腦里. 還有方言呢?我幾時才教嘉晨方言呢? 傷腦筋.

我爹爹、妈咪也要我学英语和华语。

其实阿姨别心急,等嘉辰哥哥上学了自然就能学到英语。

像我二姑和二姑丈,英语也不很行。但我大表姐还是一样能在幼儿园里学会讲英语哩。

i heard specialist said : if children learn one language, he can fully absorb instead of learning two languages at the same time... he only understand 50% of each language.. so i think better let him learn one language 1st.. he sure will know english.. dun worry!!

华语和英语,小孩都得学,或许你可以让他先学华语,我有个例子给你参考. 我一个关丹朋友得小侄子,从会讲话开始父母亲就双语教, 不过到了慢慢地他就不喜欢华语了,因为他认为华语比较难学,到后来就是不想学咯,当然小孩的英文说得不错. 大马的英语环境不错(这一点很让在大马求学的我羡慕),我想小孩学好中文以后英文再学肯定不会差.

Don't worry..let her grow naturally.
Kids learn things very fast. Being a ChineseI truely support Chinese language first , learning English can come second.
Look at most Malaysian, Singaporean nowaday, most of them can speak, read and write fluent in both Language.
I live in Canada, I don't speak much English with my son, but somehow he catch it very fast, and I told him no English at home,, because I knew soon he will know how to speak that Language.
you may tell your girl girl, "it's night night, go to Oil Oil!!??"
may solve your dark and duck.. maybe

我爹爹和妈咪的英语也好滥哦!
他们都和我讲华语,也教我认华文字,
就是怕我学得不三不四。

新加坡现在就面对一个大问题,
就是很多学生不学华文。
政府被迫改变教育体系,
对中文只要求听、讲、理解
妈咪好担我以后,恐怕会不识华文字。

华文在学习上比英文难很多,
让孩子先学华语,再学英语就容易多了。
