Wat abt watching the Chinese news with the kids? My hubby sometimes will ask Ds to sit n watch the Chinese news together n would wan Ds to read along the chinese words on screen if possible ...he keeps telling Ds that if he wan to improve his Chinese..this is one way ... For me, I still read Chinese magazines and papers to improve on my Chinese and would ask Ds to look thru with me sometimes too. But when Ds see Chinese words only,he usually yawn or run away.. :slapshead: I know he soccer crazy so I get him to read soccer news in Chinese lor..
I know what you mean, I've asked dh to speak in only chinese with my boys, and he is really struggling very hard.. very often I have to interpret for my in-laws or anyone else when they speak in Chinese to my boys too...markfch:
To improve his oral, I have decided to communicate with ds using Chinese alone. Needless to say, all was quiet during dinner. My spoken Chinese all came out as 'one-piece, one-piece.' (must translate to Hokkien)
I ever asked my boy to speak in Chinese with his frens (like ur ds markfch :evil: ) n he asked me:' You crazy huh? What to say?!'

thanks for the tips! my boy only likes to watch animal planet and cartoons.. have tried getting chinese dvds like Xi Yang Yang, 1000 whys? but they just yawn and ask how much longer before they can watch their own cartoons :frustrated: ... I may try the news but I myself have difficulty understanding :oops: what they r saying, n will have to translate to my boys thru out...
We don rally have time to watch tv too.. we get home at 7.15pm, finish dinner, and it's homework time. They only watch half hour each night, havin to choose only 1 cartoon, so it is quite precious to them. They need to sleep by 9.30pm as Mommy has to leave for work early in the morning.
My sons seemed to have a switch that switches off their hearing when the language is not in English... sometimes the grandparents have to shout their names several times before the kids respond. :gloomy: very embarrassing when they are perceived as being insolent..
Funx3, desperate times call for desperate measures!! hahaha... if u set up shop, plenty of PH here will buy!!

Mrsbongz,
I can more or less understand what you meanβ¦my fren also facing the same issues as uβ¦ she cannot read moch chinese herself so cannot help her gals muchβ¦but I told her if u wan your kids to do wellβ¦u have to put in your best effort to show them that they are not alone β¦I learnt maths all over again and still working on assessment books and papers to show my boy that maths can be tough sometimes but never give up cos mummy didnβt! I did managed to help him out quite a bit in his hw along the wayβ¦so Dun gve up! Whenever u can, speak in mandarin, be it broken mandarinβ¦at least u tried your v bestβ¦ the more u do it, the better u areβ¦if the ang mohs can do itβ¦all the more we shd do better at our mother tongue! -
