本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛what my worries are:
1, is your husband native English speaker? if yes, that's natural for your girl; if not, pls read the following: a, the grammar; somebody already corrected you already :-); b, the accent, no matter how good you are, (well, maybe you happened to graduated from Foreign Language school in china?—still, you will have some); however, I do believe that kids can learn/adjust well later, but I saw many cases, that kids got accent (no matter how good their spoken/written E are) from their parents, since they learned E first from the parents and keep listening/talking from/to their parents in this way—well, many Chinese parents teach their kids E in order to catch up, or, say, provide a E environment for their kids. you want your kids to be as native as possible, but you are not native. Imagine a Canadian teach you Chinese :-)?
2, you know, E is much much more easy than C, the skills of the logical thinking, critical thinking…are opposite between these 2 language (maybe someone who learn language science would like to share more about this). I wouldn’t focus on the E for the early stage for kid; instead, more C is needed (if you want a C and E bilingual kid).
what the book say/suggest, we have to analyze the languages themselves, how the language develop from its origins, how these language organise/ express, how they influence the way the person thinks..…. say, if you are native E speaker, fine, learn Spanish, French…is more easy for you; if you speak Chinese, learn Japanese, Korean… feel easier. well, at the same time, most of the books in this field would assume(?) that your first language is E.
of course, learning more languages only will improve your cognitive development, but we just need to pay attention to the way we deliver, and analyze the way others suggest.
pls keep your good work, and keep us posted.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
