This episode has a happy interview with Michelle, the producer of Cantonese Mommy
How to create an environment for learning Cantonese and Mandarin overseas so that both children can use the language freely
03:30 Michelle was born in Hong Kong, went abroad to study, and started a family in the United States.
My 9-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter are both fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.
04:19 My 9-year-old son can read books written in traditional Chinese characters with ease. Only with the Lele Listening and Reading Series can he reach the level of independent reading.
04:45 孩子3-4歲開始有【樂樂聽讀叢書】，而在2歲時開始就已經上傳廣東話共讀影片到YouTube
05:40 Learning Cantonese has always been a "reading and literacy" approach, without using pinyin. But now in Hong Kong, you have to learn pinyin first.
06:50 [LeLe Listening and Reading Series] Only characters, no phonetic notation, pinyin, or English assistance, more suitable for children [Reading and Literacy]
08:40 During the epidemic, I just happened to have the [LeLe Listening and Reading Series], so I don’t have to go to the library all the time
We also started a Lele reading club and completed the red, yellow and green books together within a year.
In the second year, we began to read the Lele Listening and Reading Series and other advanced books.
10:05 During the epidemic, my 9-year-old son built a very good learning foundation with the Lele Listening and Reading Series and successfully read independently.
11:03 And by organizing a Cantonese reading club, we can continue to learn and support each other
12:10 Share information with families who need to learn Chinese.
【LeLe Listening and Reading Series】More than just a tool, it is a family connection, memory and self-identity
Subscribe to the free [LeLe Newsletter] and receive three LeLe sample books
Weekly e-newsletters, interesting parent-child activities, etc., accompany every family learning Chinese to move forward together
14:04 Cantonese reading club. As the children grow up and have more extracurricular activities, they continue to keep in touch after the meeting.
The kids call it "LeLe Meeting"
15:35 Every family learning a language can organize a reading club if they have the opportunity. This is a very good way to continue learning.
16:02 [LeLe Listening and Reading Series] Children can freely choose the level of interest, and they still feel that they are reading together
Rather than advanced books that are too difficult, other children are not interested and do not need to follow the book numbers.
19:05 Share this information with friends you care about; the interview content may be able to help them.
