I would intentionally slip in a Chinese storybook as one of the books to buy as bday or Xmas gifts. I believe that as long as the book is around, they would somehow pick it up and be interested to read it. I would also read aloud the Chinese storybook or magazines which my girl borrowed from the school library.

I do not force them to speak or reply me in Mandarin, but I show by example so that at least they get accustomed to hearing the language spoken. We also read the 好朋友 series that my daughter gets from school before bed and find it a good resource. Having this e-learning package offers an added dimension and will be a great motivation to the kids to get them more interested in speaking the language!Lisa Choohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072482203403046827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-50304729077799367762017-08-28T08:14:13.021+08:002017-08-28T08:14:13.021+08:00FB: Eunice WeeFB: Eunice WeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-16423873340992944022017-08-28T08:13:23.389+08:002017-08-28T08:13:23.389+08:00We try to converse in mandarin daily even if it...We try to converse in mandarin daily even if it's for simple conversations.

Bought Chinese storybooks to boost their interest and explain to them the meaning in Chinese and followed by English. Practise with them the reading by reading together and revised their Chinese textbooks. Try to overcome their phobia by making it simple and fun by learning new words and try to use it im daily life eventhough it may not be that successful in making them more interested in Mandarin but I believe with this awesome supplementary aid and never give up spirit of mine. I am going to help and boost my kids especially my 2nd kid to improve her Mandarin written and oral skills. Hoping to be able to win this for her PSLE next year. <br /><br />FB : Doris LimDoris Limnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021135487628671682.post-37558503689282434082017-08-25T16:28:22.755+08:002017-08-25T16:28:22.755+08:00Facebook id: CL Doreen Tan
