你冇事嗎？做咩呀？休息吓唔好咁辛苦喎。

妹妹仔都係太幸福啦，邊知道世情，路係佢自己嘅，要點行冇人隔到佢，聽唔入腦都冇計，有時都係要撞下板先得大。

唔覺唔覺上BK都三年幾，我仲記得果陣我仲陀住個女，而家佢已經三歲幾，我仔今個月就五歲，今年入K啦，時間好似飛咁快，唔知有冇一日呢度BK媽咪有機會講點樣湊孫呢？

男人個個都係咁架啦, 你老公是中國人定外國人. 係呢你地個邊學彈琴會唔會好貴. 唔知阿女係hk 考個d cert 去到usa 用唔用得到. 唉... 如果佢讀唔到書教人彈琴都好啊. ...

我隻佬係ABC嚟架，識聽識講好少好少中文（台山話），咁佢單身寡佬多年都唔駛點理嘢，而家有老婆有兩個化骨龍就唔同晒啦，佢有樣嘢好叻，就係會記得買嘢嘅價錢，我就一定要寫低（生完兩個記性差咗好多呀），但我數口好過佢，所以佢咩都叫我計，好似出去食飯要俾幾錢貼士咁，呢邊出世讀書果d心算好弱，我第時一定要教我兩個小朋友九因歌同心算先得，數學係中國人嘅強項。

我身邊識嘅朋友多數送d仔女去踢足球打藍球排球或者學游水，女仔就有學芭蕾舞，但就比較少見人學琴，所以唔係好知。不過我屋企附近有間琴行有教樂器，下次行開我幫你入去問吓啦，我都想俾對仔女學吓樂器，可以訓練佢地嘅專注力同陶冶性情，但暫時未知佢地有冇興趣，佢地兩個話想學爸爸舞獅喎，囡囡話要粉紅色獅頭，死未。

weekend我都會四圍揸下...其實有GPS真係好方便!
呢度比起香港...揸得舒服好多...
路大車少...人人都好有禮貌...
你緊張都係 ...

多謝你條Youtube link，我都唔知有d咁嘢，我會得閒煲吓架啦。

你好大"sai"喎，我好鍾意玫瑰花架，你剷晒有d可惜，要種到開花唔係咁易架。我第時如果買到屋有花園都會試吓種唔種到。咁你果邊上個星期有冇落雪呀，我呢度冇，不過其他附近城市有，但就一直到而家都好涷又大風，對仔女d濕疹同氣管敏感又起，真係好慘呀。

hum... my kids learn piano and violin, music theory, ice-skating and swimming.
for piano and violin class.. they charge us $100 per month (1/2hour) if we pay 4 months, 10%off.
music theory -- $50 per months (50min), if we pay 4 months, also 10% off.

some other insititue charge kids up to $30-40 per section.
also if your daughter wanna teach anything here.. even piano... as parents we look into.. what kind of master degree you got.. in music special in which area... not just 8th grade piano or a teacher license from hk, then she can teach children, unless she charges very low or the parents do not know anything.
and also, parents will search inside the parentings magazine to find teachers for specialist.. so ad. is necessary sometime..
to work inside the music school, will be one of the way, but then, they will ask for the degree your daughter received in order to hire her.
as a parent, we paid and we wanna make sure, my children learn it well, and worth...
I don't want to throw money into the "salty water sea".
hope you can understand... she can get the credit in US if those are verified here in US.. so, ask her to do all her license verification at this moment, to save the time..
Good luck!!

Nillie - 學琴真係一樣好貴玩意.
阿女係hk 學hkd 910/ 4 堂/ 45mins 5級, 另樂理 hkd 700/4堂 /45 mins.
希望佢來到us 之前考到 8 級啦. 但阿女成日都唔比心機學. 叫佢彈琴叫到我就黎嘔血.
你小朋友學到幾多級, 係hk 係要考皇家音樂試.
另你做物咁唔小心啊. 好好休息下.
rose - 物原來你老公是台山人, sf 個邊真係好多. 咁你識唔識聽. 舞獅 - 我今年新年係hk 都只係出咗去旺角見到隻獅仔. 唔同以前細個可以成日見到人舞獅. 你老公like 呢種玩意又幾得意.
係呢你平時在家都係同佢講英文架. 轉咗新校會不會多咗中國小朋友啊.
講開你話租霸唉都唔知算唔算 - 阿妹間新屋係st jose 5x 萬,本來唸住係個度住點知有咗, 為方便照顧小朋友米搬番去sf. 間屋一直掉空咗成年. 係回hk 之前1 月租咗比佢老公同事, 2 月番去佢有本事1 月同2月+ 電費都未交. 而家都唔知幾時交. 話同佢交咗電費先佢又話唔好佢自己交. 阿妹話個個人年薪都有 8-9萬. 真係煩.
ellie - 你返新工返成點呀, boss 好唔好啊.

I heard in Fremont, it is about US$1/min for the few yr old entry level piano lesson. If the teacher is famous or have higher degree or awards, cost more. Usually young kid may have a 30 min lesson once a week.

My 4.5yr old boy is quite interest in learning piano. I try to persuade him to learn violin but he still prefer piano. I don't think I will buy a piano unless I am sure my son will continue in piano playing. It kinda use up a lot of space.

Back then when I was in HK, my piano teacher also taught me music theory. No need to pay extra!

(I took piano class and music theory 1 when I was in collage here...not music major/minor, hehe... Easy A! Boost up the GPA...)

係呀，呢邊好多台山人架，我識好少，有時62對住我講一大堆我都唔知佢講咩。

我老公係好後生時加入醒獅隊學，之後玩咗十幾廿年，過年花車巡遊加埋去學校表演，二月通常都好忙，之前仲會去參加比賽，贏咗就將獎金買獅買鼓，而家佢話佢已經半退休，因為對仔女所以重出江湖喎。

其實以前同而家果間學校都好多華人同mix，只係以前果間冇將中文列入去教，因為d老師都唔識，而家呢間有教中文。平日我都盡量同對仔女講中文，公公婆婆唔識英文，佢地知如果唔同公公婆婆講中文，公公婆婆就唔明，尤其是想佢地買嘢食果陣就非要講中文不可。

咁你租俾熟人，有冇立租約？呢度咩都最好跟足手續，幾熟都係假，始終人心難測。

Rose-mag,

Your son's school teach Mandarin or Cantonese? Do they teach writing and pingyin too? There's no Chinese immersion public school in my district (they only have Spanish immersion) so I guess I need to continue sending my son to weekend Chinese school.

Starting this yr, I found my son speak a lot of English (english christian preschool) and doesn't speak Mandarin as much compare to before. I think his dad keep speaking English to him is one of the bad reason. His most fluent dialect is still Cantonese (for now...)

Amanda's school cancelled Spanish and switched to Mandarin this year, and had a teacher comes from China whom has double master and special edu degree. she teachs simpified chinese and pin yin... which is really hard for me, especially when I have to count how many stroke, as I am not good with chinese anyway... too bad... glad that she still gets the no.1 from school.
only got the number of storke for the "brother" wrong, I still don't know the answer..
We speak Cantonese at home, Amanda watches YoyoTV from Taiwan every night as a mandarin bush up.. she loves it.
For Gabriel.. same... speaks Cantonese at home, he learns Russian, spanish and English from school.

wow... so to learn piano in US is much cheaper..
Amanda will never want to practice old songs, but for all new songs, you don't need to ask her to do so.. she only wants challenge.
We did not put her to any exam.. as the teacher knows, she learns it like a pianist.. just to get to the feel, the story of the song.. so well.. I did not push..
her students all go for the associated board of the Royal schools of Music to take exam 2 times a year.

Bunnymonkey,

My son's school teaches both as I overheard the teachers teaching kids singing mandarin songs. Also, the school offers Mandarin class on Saturday with extra fee and it is only open for kids 5+ years old. We have applied public schools with Chinese language programs and hope that he can get in. Unfortunately, Chinese immersion schools are so hot in SF and there are hundreds of application for only 44 seats/school. The best ran one is too far away from our home while the most famous one is not our cup of tea then the newest one is far from ready (only have K-2 now and the classrooms/floors for 3-5 are basically empty) plus we don't like the principal who has too much bs.

It's normal for kids to speak more English after they start going to English-based schools. My son started to speak a lot in English after he entered preschool and so does my daughter. I don't rely on my husband as he's basically an American with yellow skin. My kids know that I can communicate with them in English and sometimes they insist of speaking English to me. I would refuse responding unless they say it in Cantonese to me. Sometimes, their half English half Chinese conversation make me laugh. e.g. they will say, 'I want to 梳 your hair', 'I want to wear the 波鞋'. Of course, I have to correct them, at least should be a full sentence in English or Cantonese, not half and half.

Nillie,
Interesting thing...when I visited the kids' current school, I told the principal that Amanda is a tough stubborn girl. The principal told me that she knows it because she has taught many Amanda before and all of them are with the similar characters. My Amanda would get mad and refuses to apologize if she's not happy even though she knows that she did wrong. Sound familiar?

兄 -5, 弟-7, 哥-10

I think my son's current school is too easy. Last year when he was 3, they were teaching 26 alphabets. This yr for the 4 yr old class, they are still teaching 26 letters. I considered he is learning bible stories, social skills and English there... The tuition of the other more academic school cost double of his current school... I guess I will not expect too much. :)

rose-mag,
wakaka....
you got it... well! Your Amanda is similar to My Amanda and Gabriel...
Now, Big Amanda learns, and will say sorry as she learns from peers and big brother and sister from school.
Gabriel.. another little subborn kid... very very "hard neck"... won't say sorry, won't apologies... well! he will learn.. when he gets to the right school and we know where he belongs to.. hee hee..
Hope he can get into the same school with Amanda, otherwise, we already found a back up non-zone school for him in Manhattan.

睇見你地教育方式真係同hk 有點不同, hk學校成日谷小朋友尤其是中學派位, 學琴都不例外每年會send 去參加比賽, 而學到某個程度就要參加Royal exam.
係呢你地仲有無 HKID 政府18 歲以上一人派6K.

呢度..... 讀書講求自發性.... decision making, time management... 冇人會逼你, 唔交功課, 唔做school work, is up to you.
total different from HK, if 小朋友喺zone school.... NYC仲要係"no children leave behind"... 都幾攞命...
thanks god, Amanda 喺citywide gifted school, 所有家長都係middle class... 教學理念一致, 校長好嚴.. 家長唔理唔教, gifted school有權踢小朋友出校, 等佢哋返zone school... 嚟keep住質素...
學琴... Amanda班入面係得Amanda 1個人學咋... she begged for it since she was 3 years old, 到佢4歲10個月大, 我哋至帶佢去學... then, 一學就almost 2年多喇... they usually learn chess, swimming, and others..
Amanda rock climbing 去到Adult Middle Level, 即係玩倒吊.... 但俾62, 99, 我父母知道之後, 就唔淮佢再學... what a pity... :(
Amanda 學figure ice skating 因為同學仔, HK朋友仔個個學, so 佢requested 學, 可以play date 囉!
佢啲同學去ski, 打golf, tennis... well... I am not interested, 因為我唔識.... piano 同violin都有譜可以睇, 我自己係swimmer , 教佢游水冇problem..
well.. 但我要講all activities are time consuming... we don't have weekend anymore.. because THIS girl is crazy with all her classes...
星期一至五要叫至起到身.. weekend, 7點未到就get herself ready for the day... 我哋想瞓多陣都難.

其他父母都push 得好勁, Amanda's classmate 係national chess completition2010 嘅第二名, 另一個係nyc swimming gala on 2nd grade 嘅champion..

我就冇大志, 只係俾Amanda 去玩, 去explore what fit her.. 佢得7歲, 要嘅係童真! 唔係比賽... recital is ok... but no completition..
this weekend, 佢會出Manhattan 嘅Kennedy Hall for another piano recital.. we are very excited for it..

而家課外活動真係有好多不同種類, 但家長偏向學術性居多. 平時放學做埋功課都已經晚上, 所以真係無物時間做咁多嘢. 我女下個星期都要參加彈琴比賽, 因為佢唔係咁熟所以今個星期日要比老師留堂再練.
想問你地個邊做托兒有無須求, 阿妹話如果佢比人抄咗會讀個托兒course. 幫人照顧小朋友.
