[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We choose mandarin for kids to learn because there are more resources(language school, books, tutoring) and more kids that can speak this language. It is supposed to be he most easiest compared to other languages that we can speak. Mandarin is not native language for any one of us. [/quote] I think that sounds like a great choice for your family. Two languages is a nice compromise for kids who struggle learning language early on, and choosing the language that's easiest for you to support makes sense. But if your parents speak dialect or Cantonese to the kids, it's not going to hurt their Mandarin or their English. If anything, it will help them learn how to interpret nonverbal cues to figure out what people are saying, which means that if they're in settings like language school where other people are more fluent, they'll pick up more. Plus grandparent time is precious![/quote]
