Wasn't a great experience, as a child, it was hard enough going to school learning English, mathematics, art, history and science and on top of that still got to learning Chinese when I get home, was a real torture. Was more or less a ritual, wasn't really learning. And once there's no reason to use Chinese, I completely stopped using Chinese in college. Yes, there was a period of time I struggled with Chinese. Eventually, I found my way back to relearning Chinese again. I now can read and speak Mandarin and Cantonese fluently, not so much writing. I can only say, from my experience, being pushed to constantly learn Chinese cause a different reaction in my part. If I were given a chance to learn Chinese from interacting with others and learning on my own, I may have a better appreciation for learning Chinese growing up.
Hi Mike, my kid is a about the same age as yours. My kid is born and raised in Canada but he is able to retain his Chinese fluency primarily because my wife and I both speak to him in Mandarin at home. We did this intentionally because he talks to teachers and friends in English in school. The only way for him to maintain his Chinese is to talk Chinese whenever possible.
This is so true. For my older son we did this 1 parent 1 language since young too, eventually he refused to speak in chinese both in school and at home… even his grandparents started to learn english just to communicate with him😢 I panicked and signed him up for 1-1 online lesson just to force him to speak in chinese… got better after a while. For my younger child, both parents spoke in chinese with her, turned out she is much fluent and better in the language compared to her brother now😅
Speaking Chinese at home is the best way to help Little Mike. As Teacher Mike can speak Chinese, this rule can be easily enforced. Kids learn from parents. 加油!
It's an absolutely normal phenomenon. I lived in Sichuan province when I was only 4-5 years old, so I could speak Sichuan dialect fluently. But when I was 6 years old, I moved to Anhui province, I forgot all the Sichuan dialects and picked up Auhui dialects. This was an interesting thing. So kids can learn everything fast in an immersive environment and also everything can be easily forgotten without further practice.
Once we decide to go back to Europe, we will face similar challenges. I heard it from other expats as well. And the same thing happened with my daughter‘s German once we had been in China for a few months. One of the things I start to consider for our next destination will be possible Chinese language education. Either in school or via a club or so. Also a Chinese community will be something we want to look out for to make it easy to stay in contact with the language. The approaches you mention are definitely great options and I will keep them in mind once the time comes. 😊
Now my 15 years old kid can speak German, English, Chinese, and Spanish, and writing as well. 😂It is very difficult to insist on that, one parent one language, but I did it. Now it's autopilot
@@LW78321 thank you 🤣my kid's English teacher told me that he could already take Matura exam to pass English graduation now even though he still has two more years to finish high school
It's definitely a struggle! We're in Australia and I speak to my 4yo son in Chinese and my husband speaks to him in Vietnam, but he will always respond in English. We've started WuKong online classes and he attends Chinese school once a week which have helped
My son born in the 🇺🇸, he is 37 now, he speaks fluent Chinese even he can’t read. He watched Stephen Chow movies a lot plus we speak Chinese most of the time
In fact, learning a language is more like developing a skill. For example, my company is an international one, and when clients from around the world come for business visits, my boss specifically arranges colleagues who speak the clients’ native languages to accompany them and host business dinners. This makes the clients feel very comfortable. So, people who speak multiple languages are highly valued.😂
My linguistics professor with a PHD in Linguistics from Boston Univ. told our MA TESOL class that linguistically speaking you should ONLY speak your native tongues to your child, he speaks to you and you speak to him ONLY in English and with mom ONLY in Chinese. This is for him to grow up bilingual. Also consider sending him to China every summer for 3 months to live with the grandparents and study. Get him an online teacher and study 30 min. a day 5-6 days a week. Start with these maybe ^^ peace.
My son also went through the phase of learning Chinese, but after that, it all went downhill. Over time, he has fewer and fewer topics with his grandparents in China, even though he loves them. Besides, there are hardly any Asians where I live, I've only seen one or two Chinese people over the years. It's really very difficult to keep up.
One thing is for sure like my son and all my friends children even those kids were born in USA to study in elementary school just because your daily life in a place which they were maturely change their mother tune to speak English, and English is their daily live communication . That’s it . Nothing wrong with it .
It happens to every Chinese immigrants family, your son will eventually forgot how to speak Chinese even your wife speaks Chinese. because nobody speaks Chinese at school, that the main reason.
My kids were born in NZ. Oldest boy grown up in NZ until 7, went to China for a year for primary school (He's already in years 3 in NZ and native speaker). When he came back to NZ when he was 8, he said he couldn't understand what his teacher says and didn't know what to response I was shocked how much he has been brain washed in China and forgotten English. It took him another year in NZ to be back to native English speaker. It's interesting watching this change.
Agreed. Definitely a challenge for kids to speak mandarin. We all hope that as long as we speak mandarin to them they will continue speaking mandarin. But the truth is that they will reply in English. Language immersion school is a great choice but if that is not an option, online class is probably the most helpful way.
@ thanks for reply! yeah you mentioned in the video. Glad to hear that! Duo lingual is a big advantage, providing different opportunities and perspectives of viewing the world. You have done a great job and hope little Mike continues enjoying Chinese!
Language is all about the environment. Many ABC who grow up in the US could not speak proper Chinese, let alone a mix family. Those I know who are bilingual usually travel to China oftenly or have very strict policy such as only speaking mandarin at home
It's good that you're aware of it and try to find a solution. I have 6 cousins, all born in the US. All but one would not speak Chinese at all. That's rather shameful to be honest.
Mike 老师， glad to meet you and your wife at the party over the weekend, this is an issue we are facing too, I’d like to know how LingoAce is working out for 小麦 long term. Thank you for sharing this!
He lived in a traumatic time in China - zero covid - when the hazmat suits told him once that they would take mommy away from him for not testing for covid. I will never forget that inhumane moment, which you recorded. And the govt separated your family with quarantine. I will Never Forget what they did to people like you who had no recourse. US is an incredibly peaceful, gentle place in comparison. I don't blame the kid for wanting to speak English.
If you do not want your child to not able to speak Mandarin. You need to provide only speaking Mandarin environment this can be at home. So he receive the exposure and speak it. Then, when he is back in China able to speak the language to his grandparents. Maybe every year you can go back to China able to have him speak the language. There is Chinese immersion school in the US that you can have your child go too.
And maybe find a few Chinese kids from your relatives' families to practice Chinese with him online. Or maybe ask Xiao Mai to open a TH-cam channel for himself. :D
When you shared your story during the election night, it reminded me of my 1st and 2nd English teachers in Beijing, one guy from Colorado, the other one Sean from West Michigan, man you let me remember my old days back in 2007 Beijing. 😭😭😭 Xie Xie
I love how at 06:17 you attribute your son's language proficiency failure due to you (a white American) not taking the initiative to SPEAK MORE CHINESE???? Come on Mike, don't raise the bar to high for the rest of us now that's just unfair.

麦克老师这期广告做得真丝滑
中国人花了那么多精力学英语，为啥还是看不懂times，economics，西方一大堆人跑到中国来旅游，最深的印象就是没人懂英文，他们要知道中国人多重视英文，花了多少力气学，肯定极为吃惊

hi mike~any english private lessons available for adult? I checked on the Lingoace website it seems only for kids
应该让小孩之间更多交流比大人要好
小麥能有這樣的一個父親是幸運的❤
小麦妈妈说的英语很好听❤👍
要不两夫妻咋交流嘛～u know 谈恋爱还是得要统一语言的！
喜欢看小麦这个小机灵，每句话都反着说，太可爱了😻
我們家是三種語言，很慶幸六歲多的孩子目前為止還是跟我說中文，跟爸爸說丹麥話，然後跟我們一起說英文。語言是一種習慣，希望孩子能一直保持下去，我想他應該也能保持下去，因為他不喜歡我的丹麥文發音😂，不准我說。

我记得看过一个采访，周华健儿子，在家统一说英文，在外（台湾）统一说中文。我想应该是一个原理。

Just want to keep them as he’ll be going back and forth in both environments
父母应该在家只和孩子说中文，这样他才不会忘记中文！另外不用担心孩子不会说英语，因为在学校大家都说英语，所以他也应该是不教自会的。
Can’t wait for the day when your wife joins you to do a full episode in English! I’m sure everyone would be super interested! 😄
Xiaomai is blessed to have a good father like you, amazing teaching
麦克老师的太太英文说得好棒
“中文和英文都喜欢多一点”😂遗传了父亲的都不得罪……小孩的语言能力很强，我女儿在小麦这个年龄，在一群家人中间英文中文自由切换，最困难的部分是写中文
小麦 is sooo cute, thanks for sharing!
小麦妈妈要经常出声哟，给视频增色不少！
小麦好可爱❤

这套方法很棒，可以套用在学习任何语言上面，孩子启蒙越早越有语言优势
嗯
麦克老师🎉恭喜你预测总统成功🏅！😂
有这样一款软件，确实会方便很多，这样小麦以后就不会丢掉中文了😊
Wow 小麦长大了，很久没有看你们的视频了，忽然想到麦克老师和小麦😂
Now my 15 years old kid can speak German, English, Chinese, and Spanish, and writing as well. 😂It is very difficult to insist on that, one parent one language, but I did it. Now it's autopilot
You definitely have to be disciplined
That's amazing!!

麦克老师确实是包容的人，是愿意解决问题的人。身为美国人，看着自己的儿子说英语，不是完全没有问题吗？！
最多只有妈妈担心一些，麦克完全可以假装看不到，当作问题不存在。
我觉得孩子不说中文的一个原因是，他觉得没有必要说中文，他完全没有一个说中文的理由，也没有这个需要。孩子现在学习中文也不是为了考试成绩，也没有什么身份认同的问题，只要能满足信息交流就行了。
所以，可能的建议就是在家里只说中文，并且主动设置一些提高语言难度的活动，例如讲个故事。不做就没有奖励甚至有惩罚。
麦克是个好人，愿意去处理这个问题。
My son born in the 🇺🇸, he is 37 now, he speaks fluent Chinese even he can’t read. He watched Stephen Chow movies a lot plus we speak Chinese most of the time
推荐一个适合孩子看的中文电视：棋魂，讲一个孩子学棋的故事，拍的很好，我都看完了。 ：）
原来都拍成电视剧了，我只看过日本的动画，才发现已经20年了，这部动画也很好看的。
麦克老师夫妇很称职。小麦很辛运。坚持和孩子讲中文很重要，但蛮难的，主要看家长能否坚持。我家孩子们都长大了，只能用流利的中文说：“对不起，我听不懂”。
完了，我双胞胎儿子们看太多Ms. Rachel，所以不到两岁的他们，很多第一次说的词和句子都是英文。而且语调和表情和Ms. Rachel一模一样。我得个他们找点中文叫说话的节目看看了。我们日常基本都说中文，每天看一个或两个小时Ms. Rachel，她的频道真的很厉害😂
小麦好可爱

We read our kid bed time stories every evening both in German and Chinese, not alternate 😂
omg, he is so cute and reminds me of Eden, sass!!!!
Being bilingual is very important on children's brain and personality development especially during this age. 小麦加油！多会一种语言能让孩子的人格发展更加丰富
Please speak Chinesse at home with the kid as much as possible.
My son also went through the phase of learning Chinese, but after that, it all went downhill. Over time, he has fewer and fewer topics with his grandparents in China, even though he loves them.

朋友孩子从3岁回国上幼儿园一直到上小学前回到美国。之后每年暑假回国学一个月的中文课程再参加一些夏令营。现在还可以能听能说，虽然越大也不愿意说或者说得慢一点。但是幼儿园阶段是对小孩子建立中文语言系统非常重要的阶段。环境非常重要。
请问一个月的中文课程是什么名字啊。我也有这个打算
是去当地的青少年活动中心参加的暑期课。 活动中心暑假除了中文课，还有很多兴趣班，像画画，书法，唱歌跳舞等等，参加哪一个对他们融入语言环境都是很好的。
hello，欢迎来试试我们lingoAce的中文课哦😃
All the Singaporean Chinese kids are exactly like your son even though they learn Chinese 华语 in school
我家孩子美国出生长大，老公外国人（意大利人），老大13岁了，中文和意大利语都非常流利，原因是他三岁以后才去幼儿园，而且我在家和他从不说英语。爸爸也是坚持和孩子说意大利语。
I think I (Ray) need to get onto LingoAce...
So cute ❤❤❤❤
很喜欢小麦，有时候英语没看，光看可爱阳光的小麦了😂😂😂
Language is all about the environment. Many ABC who grow up in the US could not speak proper Chinese, let alone a mix family. Those I know who are bilingual usually travel to China oftenly or have very strict policy such as only speaking mandarin at home
刚在知乎上也刷到了！❤
我们家孩子也是和小麦一样的情况，我们现在在用悟空中文，孩子进步真的是看在眼里，比当妈妈教的好多了
我曾经在大费城附近的中文学校教中文两年。我发现有一个办法是可以让小朋友保持他们的听说能力的，那就是每年暑假这一群孩子都会被他们的父母送回中国跟爷爷奶奶外公外婆过一个长长的暑假。他们这些父母组成了一个小组，每年暑假都会有一对夫妻护送这十几个孩子回中国。这群父母会每年轮流做带队人。这样可以保证他们的孩子们每年都有两个月纯正的中文语言环境。父母不需要每年请假，同时也节省了飞机票花销。他们那时候已经这样做了两年。我发现参加这个父母群每年暑假都回中国的孩子中文语言能力强很多。
可以推荐非常棒的中文老师
小麦的中文老师挺好的，你也可以上她的课
我们家的情况跟你们很类似。我女儿2018年在中国出生，她爸爸是美国人。疫情前我们住在中国，疫情后在2020年她随我们回到美国（当时未满两岁）。我本人是医生，英语水平达到native的水平，我的同事都以为我是美国出生长大。但是我在家跟孩子全部说中文，她偶尔突然跟我说一句英文，我会用中文回答她：我不懂你说什么。孩子一度以为我在医院只照顾中国病人。我不希望孩子说中文的时候以此为耻或者带着一种很麻烦，很困扰，很挫败的情绪，这样她长大了只会发展成身份不认同。我感觉麦麦已经显露出这种情绪了（在视频1:50的时候）。至少我女儿很清楚这种情绪是绝对不被允许的，而且我很明确的告诉她，如果你不会说，那你自己要找其他的词语来表达出来。孩子现在6岁多一些，中文水平与国内的同龄孩子没有任何区别，我们疫情期间没有回过国，她平时能够说中文的对象也只有我，识字是我教的。绘本我只读中文的绘本给她（海淘运来的）。这个学期开始送她去一个周六的中文学校，两个小时的课，没有太大帮助，同班的孩子都是9-10岁左右的华裔小孩，没有一个会说中文，连简单的都不会。我女儿自己也很清楚她不想变成那个样子。
这说明男孩更多以父亲为骄傲，他会成长为一个坚强、有担当的人。
说明个鸡儿，要是在中国，肯定说中文。
Bamboo Garden. Haha, it is everywhere across the US.
小麦很可爱，不要忘记中文哦
我家女儿4岁多跟着我们来美国，进了学校之后也是只说英语，中文几乎不说，之后也是因为疫情期间在家无聊天天听《凯叔讲故事》，字不一定认识多少，但是表达和写作是一骑绝尘，中文吵架不在话下。
字不认识多少，写作怎么会一骑绝尘。
我家每天都写诗背诗，晚上读中文
几岁啊
好棒！
It's good that you're aware of it and try to find a solution. I have 6 cousins, all born in the US. All but one would not speak Chinese at all. That's rather shameful to be honest.
麦克现在也是百万订阅频道主了😏
Mike 老师， glad to meet you and your wife at the party over the weekend, this is an issue we are facing too, I’d like to know how LingoAce is working out for 小麦 long term. Thank you for sharing this!
So far so good. Our plan is 2x per week but we might upgrade to 3x per week.
A very common issue
不错不错，我家也有这个需求！
Take kids to china in the summer for 2 months, they will speak Chinese right away
He has roots in both countries.
He lived in a traumatic time in China - zero covid - when the hazmat suits told him once that they would take mommy away from him for not testing for covid. I will never forget that inhumane moment, which you recorded. And the govt separated your family with quarantine. I will Never Forget what they did to people like you who had no recourse. US is an incredibly peaceful, gentle place in comparison. I don't blame the kid for wanting to speak English.

挺难的。现在每天要求孩子在田字格里写四个汉字，写满一页（80个）就要实现她一个愿望（比如去马戏团，去骑马之类的烧钱项目），没有这个激励是一天都坚持不下去的。
我知道有的混血宝宝在家里跟外边讲话严格分开
是家长硬性要求，否则必然会丢掉一种
比如在上海，在家里要求必须讲英文，因为外边大环境是中文
在美国，在家里严格要求讲中文，外边大环境是英文
这样仅存口语
如果写和读，还必须上课外班才能达到双语
環境容易讓小孩忘記，我小孩沒去學校前，在家還會中文，去了pre-k 後，回家後，都是英文。我也都沒逼他講中文，現在他會聽，不會講
我孩子周末上中文学校，还玩中文游戏，就能说中文
完全在于家长培养，孩子可塑性强。在欧洲生活的孩子可以深度掌握四种语言：中文，英文，德文，法文。习惯成自然。
是的，我家孩子就回四种语言，尽管在美国。也没有花钱去学过，就是和他们说话，我自己教我两个孩子中文写字。凑巧的是，我也住Cary
家里只讲中文和上海话就OK！我和我先生就说我们听不懂英语听了也不理解。即使那样，姐弟俩在家对话也是一半一半了。我曾背了全套上海小学语文教材，目前娃八年级，学到三年级下册就没时间了。BTW，才知道“家有儿女”就是中文版“friends”😁
小麦太可爱了🥰
Mike is one of the best white dads who marry non native wives
開眼界了😅
竟然阻擾自己的兒子的認同😢
推薦看「紐約山林記」，他們家兩個孩子中文好得很，
因為媽媽多用中文和小孩對話，從學說話開始
小孩不愿意说中文，完全可以明白，中文是简陋的语言，表达起来非常辛苦，网上前言不搭后语的到处都是，就连我这种的得地警察、错字警察，经常想说点什么，都是打完一堆字又删了，要想组出一段完整的严谨的精准表达的话太难了，中国人是没办法，只有中文，有英文可选择的情况下肯定说英文来的轻松
回中国一个月，让他沉浸在中文的环境中，他中午肯定能回来。
国内也遇到类似情况，小孩长大就不说方言的，情况类似，孩子大部分时间在学校的环境，听得懂方言但是交流还都是普通话，所以不喜欢说方言。
方法就是每天都学
说明语言环境对小孩影响很大，当几乎所有人都在说中文的话他很难忘记中文，但几乎所有人都在说英文是他肯定也只会说英文,而且更容易达到母语者的水平.
不知不觉看完了整条广告😂
😂正常 我一年就忘记怎么写了 很奇妙 小学毕业
所以我坚持让娃在国内上完二年级再出国😢小孩学的快忘的快
Don't worry about it, by the time he grows up he probably could get an AI translator for $10 and instantly translate to any language on the fly.
And maybe find a few Chinese kids from your relatives' families to practice Chinese with him online. Or maybe ask Xiao Mai to open a TH-cam channel for himself. :D
Where is his mother?
可爱死了
可愛真可憐
Why don't you have another child? Xiaomai won't be so lonely.
When you shared your story during the election night, it reminded me of my 1st and 2nd English teachers in Beijing, one guy from Colorado, the other one Sean from West Michigan, man you let me remember my old days back in 2007 Beijing. 😭😭😭 Xie Xie
麦克老师，你好，国内很多小朋友学英语用RAZ的书，说是美国学生都用的，请问您知道这个书吗？
这下纯了 美味十足
My aunt lives in Cary!
Cool!
过来人的一手经验：你们在家要坚持和他说中文，18岁以后，他会感谢你们的。Btw，汉语读写能力基本不要指望了。
是的，今天我儿子说他同学很吃惊他的中文讲的那么好，和中国人一样好（他混血），我感觉他很自豪，应该会谢谢我吧😂
I love how at 06:17 you attribute your son's language proficiency failure due to you (a white American) not taking the initiative to SPEAK MORE CHINESE???? Come on Mike, don't raise the bar to high for the rest of us now that's just unfair.
什么时候生二胎呀
孩子千万要让他学中文，要会写会认，我儿子5岁回美国，也是混血儿，现25岁了，不会写，也不认，他越大越不爱学了！学也困难，一直学过来就不难！祝福！！！赞！！！
中国便强大的年代，不懂中文，注定失败
只要在家讲中文就可以了，长大后再学读和写很容易
我家也是，2岁来的美国，中文比英文好！😅很多中文能讲出来的词，英文竟然讲不出来，lingoace我们也学了、感觉用处不大，只有听中文故事在家说中文，用处很大。
