| We feel being a parent of a Child of Chinese
Extract has some responsibilities for teaching them about
Chinese
Culture and
Chinese Language we provide the tools (Books, Tapes, CD's,
Video's) to make this easier. We believe the benefits greatly outweigh
the time and effort invested.
Some children say that it's hard to learn
Chinese! They believe that learning Chinese is a waste of time. So
what happens if they want to do business in the Giant Global Market,
Full of Opportunities, especially in China?
Do they get a Translator because their Chinese
is lousy? Because their
Chinese schools was basically a place for babysitting? That their
parents thought it was more important to learn English, so they never
taught them Chinese?
Do they use their Kindergarten Level Chinese
with an accent, or take classes in Chinese as an adult? Hopefully,
they won't have an American accent. Or will they ask their parents,
Why did you not force me to learn Chinese? It would have helped me so
much now!
Or are they lucky that their parents took the
time to
read them Chinese books as Children and spoke to them in Chinese,
knowing they would learn English at school and on TV anyway, and they
now
speak Chinese like a native?
We hope number three. The best time for Children
to learn another language is as a child before puberty, so they speak
like a native and learn very easy. It can start by parents reading
Chinese children's story books to them at early ages. We provide
quality books that are fun and educational in
Chinese for children to help in this process.
Hanyu
Pinyin (Roman Pinyin) will show children how to pronounce
Chinese words.
Writing Chinese Characters is demonstrated stroke by stroke in
many of our products.
Adopted Chinese children wanting to learn English!
Chinese children being adopted by English
speaking families have the need to
learn
English. There are books and CDs or
bilingual Chinese DVDs/VCDs which can be very useful. We highly
recommend these materials being used to smooth their transition into
the English speaking world.
As parents, we have made the commitment that our
child is being brought up as
bilingual, so she/he learns English and Mandarin/Cantonese. We
feel this ability will help her/him make the most of the opportunities
that life presents.
Sincerely,
Liberty House Company
