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.
To English speakers, Mandarin-Chinese has a fame of being one of the most difficult languages to learn.
Back to many years ago, this statement might be true. However, it is is not the case any more.
As a bilingual person with more than 20 years’ language learning experience, in this post, I am going to share some of my tips and lessons with a second language learner.
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.
Many people, especially parents might ask this question: Is it good to learn a second language?
As a parent, we want to provide the best for our kids. Many of us push our children take this or that course, but only some parents will send children to a school to learn a foreign language.
As a parent and bilinguist myself, I believe in there are many benefits of learning a new language.
