Special guest for this episode of "Lele TALK":Stanley Wang, Principal of a Bilingual School in Melbourne

In this episode of LE LE TALK, we are honored to have Stanley Wang with us. As a second-generation immigrant, he has not only successfully preserved his mother tongue but also continuously dedicated himself to promoting bilingual education. In the interview, Stanley shared his insightful observations and suggestions on how bilingual families can learn Chinese in an overseas environment.

🔍Is your family a bilingual or multilingual family living overseas?
🔍Have you ever considered the importance of children retaining their mother tongue?

In non-Chinese-speaking environments, children often face challenges in learning Chinese: language and cultural differences, learning experiences, and value conflicts. These difficulties require parental companionship, perseverance, and attention to overcome together. A mother tongue is not only a shared language for communication with parents but also a bridge for parent-child relationships and helps children build self-identity.

Dear parents, if your family is struggling with learning Chinese, consider listening to what this educator, who has personally gone through this process, has to say. It might offer you new inspiration and encouragement. 💖
