[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 2) My brother's children (now 12 and 11) have been taking "heritage Mandarin classes" since they were 5. While they are excellent, well-rounded students, they are not fluent in Mandarin and definitely are not able to read or write in Mandarin. My brother and sister-in-law are both native speakers of Mandarin. The children are not attending "Chinese School" anymore this year because my brother and SIL do not see the value in it. [/quote] I know several kids like this including both of my bf's kids who have been going to "heritage Mandarin classes" since 4, now 10 and 12. They can understand Mandarin but answer in English and cannot read/write. I don't know about their spoken Mandarin since I've never heard them speak it. Don't think "heritage Mandarin classes" helped at all.[/quote]
