[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Host a native-speaking au pair or don't bother. The only way to teach little kids languages is via immersion. Nothing else works. You can kid yourself that a little Muzzy will help, but it won't. [/quote] While I mainly agree, I would probably try to at least give them some exposure to the culture since otherwise they won't have much. But not through tutors or apps, perhaps there are some events or cultural centers in the region.[/quote] Take them to what? A cultural festival in Rockville? Where is this festival and when? Why bother to do that for YY? The Chinese families at YY are really assimilated. You might as well have the kid watch YouTube videos of Chinese New Year celebrations in China for what that's worth.
