both family (with vn bx) only expose their child in chinese while i expose my son to multi language (english chinese hokkien and tieng viet). Expert say its better for a child to be expose to more languages at young age but i think it make my son blur. At home, me and my father, my bro and his daughter talk to him in english, my mom talk to him in chinese and hokkien, my bx talk to him in chinese and TV.
my bx sometimes complain that dunno issit my son don't undersrand TV as many times my bx talk to him in TV, he don't listen.
My bro's daughter also born and raised in vn till age 3+. speaks alot tv and abit emglish (cannot pronouce properly). After coming back to sillypore to stay and attend nursery, she slowly forget her TV and can pronuoce proper english...many times when she talk on the phone with her grandma in vn, she ask my bx and me to translate. One time my mum told me that she can speak english with slang... I ask her to slang... OMG!!! Its filipino slang
