For the past 2 years since the birth of my daughters, they have stayed with me in HCM City. Their nannies were vietnamese and thus they were exposed to vietnamese since birth. I speak to them in Mandarin. But i ply between singapore and vietnam often, thus not always there for my children. I realised that my daughters started to speak TIENG VIET. Not that i look down on their language, but i want my children to master English and Mandarin first before learning Vietnamese. Thus i brought my children back to Singapore for education. After going to school for the past few months, my daughters speak english and mandarin now. I am relieved. Now my wife wants to teach them vietnamese, but i am worried again. They have not master english and chinese and now again want to go back to learning vietnamese.
Any bros out there having the same experience? Do share share  |
I think those ppl who can fick fiak ang mo fluently is those who grew up in a English speaking environment. so they think in english, speak in english, screw each other in english. then no problem with english, can earn a living liao.
maybe you can employ a english speaking maid to take care of them, or a english tutor to give more focus to their english learing. with that, learning a bit a vietnamese will not be a big problem as it is not their main language. children can be very multi-tasking & pick up new things fast.
