Congrads!! How old is your son? When did you start talking to him in Mandarin. Maybe you can share with us more on how to teach kids Mandarin.
It's great that you're interested in Mandarin playgroup. Actually, I just want to gather at a place where children can play and talk more in Mandarin. I'm thinking if Mar 13 (Sat) will be OK. Does this fit your schedule.
Heather, you're more experienced in organizing events for BBKingdom mums. Do you have any suggestions? Will you be OK on Mar 13?
Hi Heather and all Mums,
Sorry to tell that I've just received an invitation to a birthday party on Mar 13 ....so 3/13 is not OK for me la :-P The earliest Sat I'm available is 3/20....and if mums prefer Sun, I'm available only in the afternoon. How about the other mums?
Hi Heather, your suggestion of 屋苑的會所舉行 is quite good. And, I read an advertisement about Space Musemum... it's showing the galaxy these days ... Do you think it's a good place to go and does it serve the purpose of giving the kids a place to gather & speak in Mandarin?
Let me introduce myself. PTH is my mother language though my daily language is mainly Cantonese. I came from Beijing when I was a child. I got two sons, one 7.1 yrs old and another 3.5 yrs old. I speaks to them in Cantonese, PTH and English ... regarded that I did not well planned the language environment. Now, I tried to speak to my sons in PTH most of the time but they have some resistance. 總是嚷著要我只用"中文".他所指的"中文", 其實就是廣東話, 在他的字典裡只有中文和英文之分, 沒有普通話.
I would like to join your 7/3 gathering, but need to confirm after I check my schedule (my son's schedule actually .. haha) . If I join, we could have the gathering at the club house of my estate near Olympic MTR station... if you like.
