[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing a friend's parents did was to buy or rent Cantonese TV shows (probably originally made for HK market) and watch those as a family several times each week for years. It helped the kids with understanding Cantonese, but was not a big help with speaking. Same principle could be applied for Mandarin if that were preferable. [/quote] I agree with this. If using Duolingo or something similar, you need to have them also listen to the language by native speakers in context. So you could do that combined with the suggestion of speaking basic phrases to them in Cantonese, and that could be enough to keep them involved with the language until they are older and decide whether to study it in school or give it up.[/quote]
