Confusion in the beginning is normal and bilingual kids always talk later develop language slower than those only handle one single language. But, it is not absolute to every kid. I live in US and my ...
totally agree with you, that is why we don't plan on letting him learn more than Cantonese and English at this stage. If no one is going to practice with him, no means letting him learn more than that and giving him extra burden.
Same as adult, if they are not going to use that language in their daily life, they will just forget about it later in life, so why giving the little ones extra burden when they should be what kids should be, enjoy and play around all the time when they don't have to worry about a single thing in life?
hello
i want to share my experience as well as seek advice from all of you here.
my home speaks english becasue my wife isn't a local nor native english speaker also. so we speak english to my son since he was born.
he is 2.5 years old now but he still talk english in single or double words mode only like "eat, drink, hurt, dirty hand, wash etc..." he still can't talk english in a proper sentence yet. when he was 2 yr old, we decided to put him to k1 international stream becox we tot it would help him or better establish his english as base language but it didnt turn out to be the ideal case.
i m kind of worry now becox i know kid at his age (if cantonese speaker) already could express or speak in proper cantonese phases or sentences. should i start to teach or switch to talk to him in cantonese instead? this coming Sept he will be in N1 and i have already enrolled him for a typical english and chinese class only. With his current english and chinese language abilities, i m very worry he can't cope with the new enironment at school.
Still have some half years to go,,, what should i do now to help him to catch up either his english or cantonese? any advice will be greatly appreciated
