Learning Mandarin is so difficult especially when no one at home speaks Mandarin. My mama consider herself a "Nasi Lemak" cos she is so call Malay educated. She can speak Mandarin, read a few words but can't write. Most of the time we converse in English at home. I even told mama "I don't want to learn Chinese".
But my mama is very hard working, she knows that Mandarin aka Chinese is very important and she do not want me to struggle in school in future, she will is upgrading herself now. She bought herself a Chinese dictionary with chinese and english meaning in it, with pin yin and how to write correctly according to the strokes. She try to type chinese words using computer with the help of her colleagues.
Being worried about my exposure to chinese, she went to popular to source for some flash cards to teach me chinese...haha it's will be self teaching for herself too. (p/s: she also use it to teach Mary jie jie). Hope it's not blind leading the blind.
She is very happy that she found quite a good set for my level, mama use this cards as memory game for me. It plays two purposes, I can learn to recognise the chinese character of the words and also how to pronounce it by looking at the picture. Mama is quite happy that at least I learn a few more chinese words. Before that I can only name body parts in Chinese and nothing more.
华语。。。我来了！！！
