[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the students master the tones? [/quote] Of course, that's a basic part of chinese. [/quote] Which is why the question is being asked. A couple hours of Mandarin "exposure" isn't going to yield familiarity with the tones. No one is saying it isn't cute. It's just not worth much of anything, other than you telling your inlaws that snowflake is "learning Chinese."[/quote] I'm not sure if you mean to be disrespectful, or if you are just naturally rude. Learning a language isn't cute. In fact, language exposure or any learning isn't cute. Using that term to try and belittle a child's learning makes you seem small. I don't tell my inlaws my child is learning Chinese, since my father-in-law speaks Chinese he can judge how much learning she is doing for himself. Perhaps you focus on the school your child attends?
