In this post, I am going to talk about how to come up with a nice Chinese name.
There is a Chinese saying: 入乡随俗 ( rù xiāng suí sú ). It means: Follow the customs where you live. If you live in Chinese speaking areas, having a Chinese name is always a good idea.
The world is changing. These days, more and more parents are interested in raising bilingual and even trilingual children.
Some parents are more ambitious. They wish their children learn as many languages as possible.
To a Mandarin-Chinese learner, learning traditional characters or simplified characters is a question.
Traditional characters are used commonly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and most oversea communities.
Simplified characters are used officially on Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia and growing oversea communities.
Being bilingual is one of the best gifts we can give our children. Luckily, more and more parents start to realize the benefits of raising bilingual children.
In this post, I will share some tips to help parents, especially parents who don’t speak the second language themselves.
