很喜欢这种讨论，这种话题没有对错之分，更多是观点的分享。女儿从小在美国长大。英语是她第一语言，但她从小也在坚持学中文，小学时每天会到中文after-school学习一小时中文，然后再去参加各种体育活动。上了初中高中，会改上周六上午的两小时中文课，每天写20-30分钟中文作业。她周围很多华人朋友都是如此。在美国初中高中通常可以选修一门外语，她选了西班牙语，她的朋友们有选法语德语或拉丁语的。女儿从小喜欢日本动漫，又自学了一些日语。 我们每年去中国探亲，或去日本欧洲和拉美等地旅行，女儿基本不会因语言有沟通障碍，她很放松自如。在中国跟亲朋聊天时，大家也不会把她当成从小在外国长大的孩子，女儿业余时间会看一些热门的中国电影和综艺，帮助她建立了与亲朋的共同话题。因为学习不同语言，她对中华历史文化、拉美与日本文化都有些许了解，帮助她拓展视野，也让她对各种文化更加理解与包容，不随意因文化不同去judge 他人甚至一个族群。比如每次去中国探亲，她都会发现中国在迅速进步，这帮助她突破西方媒体对中国固有负面报道对中国形成自己的认知。她在小学就曾与我讨论世界主流媒体对民众认知与思考的重大影响。我相信这些都会让她终身受益。 另外想多说一句，女儿从小读私校，每个年级有100名学生左右，其中近10名会选修学中文。坦白讲，对于非华人家庭，孩子独自学中文真的很难，但这些学生坚持学，他们的家长看到了中国和整个华语圈的发展，也坚信会说中文将对这些孩子的事业与生活有所帮助。而华人家庭这么天然的学中文环境，为什么不学呢😅

我是臺灣觀眾。非常感謝BBK做這一集節目，這是目前為止我看過的【不同溫層】最喜歡的一集，感謝主持人和每一位來賓的分享。記得大約10多年前，我有一個家教學生，在臺北的一般公立學校念到國小二年級下學期(大約7歲)，轉學到臺中美國學校，不到半年，他整個人都變了，他開始認為自己是美國人，認同「美國十三州」的國土觀，在家或在外不看不聽不說華語......(半年英語打敗了七年母語)。後來費了好一番功夫，才讓他看懂侯文詠「頑皮故事集」，並且在美國學校國小部畢業時，順利通過中文能力聽說讀寫檢測。當年，我到圖書館自學甲骨金文土法煉鋼備課教學，後來，我完成了字感教學六階段師培，才學會更有效率也更有趣的中文教學方式。我真心覺得「母語」有所謂的「黃金學習時間」，多學不同語言是好的，但也要小心時間和份量的安排，避免不同語言學習之間彼此的干擾情況。臺灣政府目前在國中小推「雙語教學」(中文和英語)，實際推行上有很多問題。這一集是值得我們借鏡、反思的好節目。

True. Do know, however, that choosing just one isn't the best of option in these times where multi-linguistics can give you more advantage.

Being bilingual has provided me with a significant advantage in my career. I had the opportunity to work in China at a younger age than many of my colleagues, which allowed me to develop my skills more quickly. I found that I was able to understand technical terminology much faster than others, who often viewed it as a completely foreign language. In a previous role, I taught expatriate children, and their parents inquired whether I could communicate with their kids in Mandarin. This included families from various backgrounds, such as French, Indian, German, and Japanese, where the primary language spoken at home was their mother tongue, and they recognized the value of learning Mandarin. Furthermore, with the influence of grandparents during video calls, it is not uncommon for these children to be exposed to three to five languages. In my opinion, it is essential to encourage the use of the mother tongue at home. For learning additional languages, it is important to consider future needs and the competitive landscape in a globalized world. While I type quickly in English, I can also type competently in Mandarin. However, I sometimes struggle with writing as I may forget characters.提笔忘字

I also learn to speak Cantonese fluently in ny college years in HongKong, and proficiency in these languages has greatly boosted my confidence wherever I go.

I’m a Singaporean Chinese, my family mainly speaks English and Mandarin when I was younger cause my mum was from Chinese Ed school, while my dad was from Chinese Ed primary school and English Ed higher education, whereas my grandparents speak dialects (Cantonese and TeoChew) and very little mandarin. In school, as all subjects are taught in English except Chinese class, it makes it easier for me to catch up with school syllabus whereas classmates that are Chinese oriented tends to struggle in the beginning. I was fortunate enough to be able to balance both languages and am fluent in both languages, however after completing secondary school, the use of Chinese language is close too none, and these continued thru Uni overseas. I find the interest in the Chinese language and culture much later in my mid to late 20s, and picked up the habit to read in both English and Chinese. I feel that one have to be interested in our culture, else it is really difficult to want to learn more about it, and that’s probably why younger generations are not as willing to learn Chinese as they think it’s boring.

We have similar problems with Malaysians actually, just that we have one less language to learn (Bahasa). Not gon lie I do actually think Malay is the language with the least practical and business uses compared to Chinese or English, even though it is our (and also Malaysia's) national language, and if there's one language that has to be given up in Malaysia it should probably be Malay. Relatively there are more bananas in Singapore because nowadays our main medium of instruction across all subjects is English. Having graduated from a SAP school which is touted to have a more 'bilingual environment' with emphasis on the Chinese language and cultural values, even there the number of bananas is shocking -- and the worst part is that some of my banana classmates were actually proud to score C5 for Chinese or be unable to speak Mandarin like its a flex.. LOL. Basically our SAP schools actually share some history with many of the Chinese-medium schools in Malaysia, except our SAP schools were completely absorbed into the national education system and therefore the curriculum was also revamped to align with the national standard. Indeed looking back I feel pity for those who have lost touch with their cultural roots, being a banana is not 'high class' it just shows they are ignorant, particularly in a future world which becomes increasingly multi-polar with the economic rise of China, I can't see how one can continue being 'proud to be a banana' and being able to only communicate in English (equivalent to many of those 'redneck' Americans). Personally I would say my English speaking skills are not great, but I have good writing skills and funnily enough, I have consistently managed to rank in the top 10% of the school cohort for A Levels GP or O Levels English even though I don't have an English speaking environment at home. My Chinese is also good enough to pass Higher Chinese in secondary school, maybe a part of it is because my family speaks Mandarin at home and I am well exposed to the language. Overall I'm quite happy with where I am in terms of language right now.

Went to an English as main language of instruction kindergarten. And maybe because I watched way too much Disney and English cartoons etc. my Mandarin was pretty bad when I was in kindergarten. To the point that the Chinese teacher asked my mum to not send me to SJKC or I will fail miserably in school. Stubborn mum still insisted on sending me and I ended up even taking Chinese language for SPM. As an adult, I still prefer English as my dominant language but I can converse fairly well in Mandarin and it does give Malaysian Chinese an upper hand when meeting people from people around the world. I don't think it's as simple as linguistic/cultural background vs family background/upbringing that would ultimately determine a person's grasp of language or whether they would primarily process their thoughts/experiences in a certain language. Still... I always get mistaken as banana. A Chinese teacher also seemed to dislike students who were more "banana" in the Chinese class... Oh well. I think even for people who straddle the in-between space of Cina and Banana will probably have a lot of different tiers. Kinda felt what the guy from Wabikong said about having to remember his own 華人 identity... because that's the only thing we have. Sad, but true.

I considered myself lucky to be able to well versed in Mandarin, dialects and English. I definitely found all of them true as I observed my Chinese circle feeling shy to speak English and English friends felt ashamed for missing out Mandarin.

I grew up speaking English at home while being sent to a Chinese school from primary (華小） till secondary (獨中）. The reason I was being sent to a Chinese school is because my family can’t speak a word of Mandarin even though they converse in Cantonese daily. From my experience, I struggled with Mandarin as none of my family members could speak Mandarin, which pretty much makes sense for the situation. When I was in secondary school, I struggled with learning traditional Chinese (文言文）as I wasn’t interested in learning Chinese literature etc. In the end, I’m still grateful that my parents made the decision in sending me to Chinese school, which somehow made me to be who I am today, being able to survive in Malaysia with different languages. Therefore, going overseas won’t be a problem for us as well since we know at least two languages. After all, knowing different languages can be quite handy.

This is an interesting topic to talk about. Coming from a mix-raced background from Sarawak, I speak roughly 7 languages. At home, I speak English, Mandarin, Iban, a mix of Hokkien and Teochew to my family and bf. In uni, we speak Bahasa Sarawak + Melayu and Mandarin to my classmates. Sometimes, I speak Bahasa Indonesia with my international friends as well. In my opinion, although i speak multi-languages, i would still want to sent my kids to SJKc mainly because Mandarin is the top demanded language worldwide atm. Basic in writing, reading and speaking are essential to learn during their primary school years. It will be easier for them to mingle around chinese-speakers. After mastering the basics, I'll sent them to SMK. Since we're in Malaysia, BM is definitely important too. Being able to converse in BM is important as in the future, working in Malaysia, requires us to work well with BM-speakers. All in all, learn as much languages as you can. It's never wrong nor a waste to learn a new language.

speaking as someone who is currently living in japan, studying japanese. I didnt realise how the language skills of malaysians are seen as such a powerful thing untill i've moved abroad. here, english to japanese translators are paid super well, because machine translations are not accurate. I meet people from all around the world in my language school, and they are all surprised that i can speak more than 3 languages, and i often serve as a cultural bridge between many classmates just because i grew up in a multilingual and multicultural environment. English is my first language, and i went to an SJKC for 6 years, before going to an international school for secondary. I then ended up working in a place that had international customers, and i had the opportunity to communicate with people from all around the world and learnt phrases in so many languages. I can speak English, Mandarin, Malay, Japanese. I know a bunch of phrases in Spanish, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Portugese, Russian, Korean, Persian(Farsi), Tamil. My only regret now is i wished i had learnt more chinese dialects when growing up like hokkien, cantonese, hakka, as well as the opportunity to learn tamil. The more i get on in life, the more i realise that information is the thing that gets you ahead. Language is the key that unlocks information and knowledge.

[@goldkwi]

It's important to remember that the so-called "dialects" of Chinese are actually distinct Sinitic languages. Notably in SG/MY, we primarily speak the Yue 粵語 and Min 閩語 language families. The former consists of, non-exhaustively, Cantonese and Taishanese, and the latter is further spilt into Eastern (Fuzhounese/Hockchew), Central, Southern Min.(Penang Hokkien/ SG&Johor Hokkien, Teochew, Hainanese) Mandarin itself is also a separate Sinitic language family consisting of many variants, like Sichuan Mandarin, Northwestern Mandarin, Dongbei Mandarin, Yunnan Mandarin, etc. It just so happens that the Beijing variant was selected as the lingua franca of China, aka Putonghua普通話, and other Chinese speaking communities adopted China's decision. Mandarin was not spoken by our great grandparents and the generations above. So I don't get the hype over 華人不會講華語 and this condescending attitude. Given the complexity of the various languages and variants, agreeing on the terms "Mother Tongue" & "Native Language" is a contentious one. Based on what the Singapore government says, for us local Chinese, the Mother Tongue taught in school is Mandarin, but one can argue that our true mother tongue is actually Hokkien, Hainanese and the like. Meanwhile, there's no definition of the word "Native language", but many Singaporean Chinese would say it's both English and Mandarin, since we are able to communicate in either language, many-a-times more fluently in English. (PS: btw OP speaks English, Mandarin, French, Spanish, a teensy bit of Japanese and a mixture of Teochew/Hokkien)

[@ancestral_lingo]

Yes, I agree with you. I am a KZbinr too. I am very conscious that this concept of "Chinese" does not solely mean "Mandarin". "Chinese" can be Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Teochew, etc. Growing up, I have been constantly concerned about how we keep passing the myth that "Chinese" must be Mandarin-speaking. I even have to explain to all folks who are working in restaurants, banks, etc.: "Even though I look like Chinese, in fact, I speak Southern Chinese languages like Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka and Teochew. However, Mandarin is a Northern Sinitic (Chinese) language. Mandarin is not our native tongue." Although it is very tiring, I still insist. I do not wish to see Southern Chinese languages die out in Malaysia, Singapore and elsewhere. Please support my KZbin channel as well. Thank you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOQnp6aeLiDj7M

So if kids don't pick the language up, it is very likely they won't anymore when they grow older (unless one really has deep interest and determination); they might know how to speak, but not read and write. English and BM are important too and need consistent exposure and practice if one wishes to master it. My suggestion is for kids to use Chinese in daily communication, whereas English and BM for songs, movies, cartoons, games etc.; Once in secondary, English & BM can be added into communication with people (depends on situations), while keeping all three languages for songs, movies etc. To learn a language, never be afraid to speak with people around you, don't feel inferior / insecure because of accents etc., and we shall never mock anyone or discriminate based on the language you speak. Always learn more, not less. Banana friends encourage Cina friends to speak more English, Cina friends teach your Banana friends some Chinese. Same goes to BM, please dig out dusted your BM vocabs that you memorized like crazy back then in school and practice them more often. We have the priviledges to learn more, so why limit yourself to only one.

My points (Q3) are: Prioritise English for kids when toddler, send em to Montessori does the same laying a foundation in them. But when 5yo send back to Traditional Chinese Kindergarten to focus Chinese esp writing/ reading. As such, during their SRJK(C), let school continue to nurture em in Chinese while you could send them to higher level English enrichment to accelerate their journey in English proficiency. Thereafter, decide where you want em at Secondary level....... ( I believe for certain schools, DLP still works well or Private Schools with National Curriculum (confirmed they conduct in DLP in Maths and Sciences). To add, Maths and Sciences in English will prepare em well in A-Level/ Pre-U/ Singaporean Uni. Even if you choose to to do STPM for local Universities, they will be greatly benefited as many books are in English as references.

我從小在一個講福建話跟廣東話的環境長大。上的是國民型小中學，語言切換不是問題，但不是每個人都能掌握好3大語言。我家裡有香港人跟澳洲人，從小就接觸到流利的粵語跟英文，考 SPM，在英國大學畢業，目前有機會在台灣發展。 一開始我並不是很喜歡中文，覺得太難學了。後來上了大學才開始發現多種語言多好用，自己多接觸中文媒體才變好了起來。 第一，馬來西亞中文學校的問題是：學生只被鼓勵用中文，別的方言一律禁止。大家的文化背景因此慢慢被同化。在學校也只能用中英馬來文溝通，我非常不解。 第二，英文教育應該讓學校去教。學的時侯，不要抱著 『隨便啦，別人聽的懂就好』 的心態。 第三，學習語言就是多種文化的結合。語言好了，自己交友的圈子就更大了。用英文聊天跟用中文聊天的朋友圈子會有完全不同的領悟與學習機會。 第四，在工作圈子，英文絕對是好幫手。譬如說在台灣，公司就會需要中英雙全的員工搞國際事務。在學術界，發表學術研究也得用英文。 第五，家長不要認為小朋友學了方言，就中文發音不准。今天有很多網路跟學校的教材，根本不是當時那個年代，所以那種思想要改。如果你的孩子老是學不好，就是說他不想學，僅此而已。 As a Malaysian, I'm very proud that I can speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Malay etc. We shouldn't be limiting ourselves in anyway to learn any languages, after all it's part of our shared heritage and unique culture.

幼儿园 - 中文环境 小学 - 中文环境 中学 - 中英语环境 大学 - 中英语环境 工作 - 英语环境 中文比英文难学，很多人都觉得不用学英语，只需要学中文，因为中国强大了。但是英语还是国际语言。英语也是最高效的沟通语言，所以英语是必学的。 英文真的就是一个非常简单的语言，但是也是需要一个环境来辅佐学习，以我的经验来看，唯一的难度就是语言环境的转变，还有就是一开始的害羞不敢说。这些都是需要老师家长慢慢开导的。 说掌握双语你的机会就会大很多，无论是在学习或者工作上（比如，你既能看得懂 KZbin 上老外的教学视频，也能看懂哔哩哔哩上的视频），到了社会工作上就更不用说了。 如果以后我有孩子，我估计也会让他和我一样，跟着我以前的语言环境，从中文渐渐转变到英文。因为中文是非常难学的语言，所以最好在幼儿园，小学时期就让他学起来。这样哪怕在中学/大学时期都呆在英语环境，中文还是能够做到高效沟通，至少我是这样。 我自己个人其实还是比较喜欢英语环境（学校）的，确实能够从某个角度上开放你的思想思维，能够更加大胆的表达想法看法，而且英语环境（学校）的教学方式真的不一样，这里就不细说了。但是，这不代表学了英语你就高人一等，会这么想的人也挺恶心的说实话。 那些和别人说不用学英语或者中文的，在我看来非蠢即坏，前面说了，掌握两个机会多，社会生存能力更大，至少我是鼓励每个人都掌握中英两种语言。 至于那些歧视别人不会其一语言的，只能说这种人就不用理会了吧，成天歧视别人，你累不累啊。
