[quote=Anonymous]My sister speaks Chinese natively, her husband speaks English native. Their children are bilingual, but they both did a Mandarin/English immersion program. They said the good bit was that the children learned the actual grammar mechanics (?) of both languages, rather than just memorizing 'how it is said'. Even my sister said she learned a few things about both languages watching how the kids were formally learning them. On the bad side, they felt learning everything twice basically (in English and Chinese) consumed quite a bit of time that could have been spent doing other things like extra curricular or something else. They did question if it was worth the time, as the kids probably would have been native in English and basically native in Chinese (especially if they took Chinese in university). [/quote]
