| We feel being a parent of a Child
of Chinese Extract has some responsibilities for teaching them about Chinese Culture and
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.
Learning Chinese is
difficult and there is no use?
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 that Giant Market,
Full of Opportunities, China?
Do they get a Translator because
their Chinese is lousy? Because their Chinese
school 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. We provide
quality books that are fun and
educational in Chinese for children to help in this
process.
As parents, we have made the
commitment that our child is being brought up as
bi-lingual,
so she learns English and Mandarin.
We feel this ability will help her make the most of
the opportunities that life
presents.
Sincerely,
Liberty House Company
