[quote=Anonymous]YY kids almost always understand a lot better than they speak, and only formal Mandarin. If you hire a native speaking tutor, but sure to ask him or her not to speak sub-dialect everyday "home" Mandarin, and not to use slang. Almost all the YY kids don't learn Chinese from anybody but the teachers and tutors who stick to the script, so the kids don't understand or use slang/everyday Chinese. They are taught to speak textbook Mandarin (what native speakers may jokingly call"GPS Chinese"). [/quote]
