| 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
