this week - enrolled my precious erika to bao bei "intensive mandarin" tuition classes...(first week free trial class)...i say intensive coz its a 5 days a week attendance...language mah...or not how to remember.
no choice lah...need to brush her up so she won't be so blur in her new chinese school in january. i hope this last minute intensive boot mandarin camp will do the trick...eventhough i am not kiasu (ok maybe a little lah)...but i
i hope she will learn to swim with the tide & pressure, but just in case, **mommy always prepared one**...get her ready with a security and emergency "float" 1st lah, so she won't totally sink & drown.
hahaha (crazy thot) thinking of her sinking in kitchen sinks!!
so far attended 2 days, today 3rd day and she love it...i hope her love for the language will grow too...hmm...maybe once she knows enuff vocab...i will induce her with chinese cartoon books...u think they have any on fairies or princesses...
Once she gets into school proper, and everybody speaks it, sure she will assimilate very well one lah. Don't worry!
ReplyDeleteHave heard so much about this bao bei institute too....good that their teaching isnt so taxing on the kids...
ReplyDeleteJust curious, is erika exposed to mandarin at home via grannies or etc?
ReplyDeleteNomadicMom - ya i think she will survive too
ReplyDeleteMummy to QiQi - erika loves it, so far no homework, no test but songs, games and fun learning
wmd - no la not a soul speaks this "foreign" language at home!!
glad u found a 'right' tuition class for Erika...Sooner her mandarin will be more powerful than mommy, no worries la! :-)
ReplyDeletedo update us if the class is good and she shows improvement. I'm planning to send mine after u told me bout it last week, but maybe not intensive
