I was a part time Chinese teacher back in Singapore and totally agree with you on how Mandarin is mandatory but neglected. So I actually teach Angel Mandarin before English and we speak to her in Mandarin every day too. =) Thanks for popping by my blog!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Summer~Summer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07478137784353655124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800002568832339248.post-60032077942176781642012-02-02T21:30:47.912-08:002012-02-02T21:30:47.912-08:00Hi Merryn, I have heard good things about BaoBei t...Hi Merryn, I have heard good things about BaoBei too.

I think as they get to understand and appreciate other cultures, they grow up to be more open minded too.<br /><br />Our concern about languages is a very real one because of the education system here in Malaysia.YummyMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064929952829742372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800002568832339248.post-47423325404868194502012-02-01T07:58:15.176-08:002012-02-01T07:58:15.176-08:00Thanks for dropping by :) To answer your qn, I'...Thanks for dropping by :) To answer your qn, I've been taking pictures of my girl since young so I guess she's comfortable in front of the camera. I guess she picks up poses from the way I take pictures, tv and other photos she comes across. Sometimes I'll guide her but usually she just plays along naturally :)<br /><br />I agree with u abt learning a language through immersion. For me now, the focus is to get my girl interested in cultures, her own and others, so that she will like them. You tend to want to learn the language of a culture you like as you want to find out more about that culture. That's what I feel anyway :p<br /><br /><br />Ai @ <a href="http://www.sakuraharuka.com/" rel="nofollow"> Sakura Haruka </a>Ai Sakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647203995385379898noreply@blogger.com
