[quote=Anonymous]Simple, Hope teaches Mandarin, Rockville program teaches Cantonese. If kids build a solid foundation in the family's "home language" first, they generally do much better with Mandarin later on than if they never learned the former. We're taking a page from the Hong Kongese, Mainland Chinese, Taiwanese, Singaporeans etc. who don't start with Mandarin at school if the extended family doesn't speak it as first dialect. More than two-thirds of Chinese immigrant families in the US speak Cantonese as their first dialect, and use traditional characters, not Mandarin/simplified characters. [/quote]
