[quote=Anonymous]You don't need to formally start 'teaching' it. No whiteboard or textbooks needed. You just need to speak it. Start singing Chinese lullabies to her. Teach her Chinese games (ie my kids enjoy playing hide and seek in my DH's native language). Just start introducing her to words. Ie: do you see the red ball? In Chinese we say, [the red ball in Chinese]. Keep doing that until you can start dropping the English translation. After a few days of introducing the same word ask her to try and say it herself. Just keep exposing her to the language and slowing helping her understand an increasing amount. Listen to Chinese songs in the car, get cartoons in Chinese, bring her to cultural events where she hears the language, etc.[/quote]
