Some more formal lessons would probably help... I'm really bad at writing Chinese!
Yeah, it's sad that there are quite a few families that feel they should only focus on English. I've personally found that children later regret not learning more Chinese when they were younger. ):
Haha, even though English is pretty much the language here, not everyone's great at it. Around my area, we also have a lot of English language learners. I was considered one too since I didn't start learning English until I started elementary school at 6. Many students around my area speak Spanish or Vietnamese at home.
Oh, so English is compulsory in Malaysia! And same for Singapore! What age do you start learning English for each? Foreign language classes aren't offered here until we reach middle school or high school (high school would mean students are around 14 years old), but I find learning languages easier the younger someone is...
Plurk is a micro-blogging site! The messages show up in a timeline in near real time. It's pretty cool. I started using Plurk to follow Yu Wo's plurks, and now I'm plurking a bit myself too. :) If you ever start a plurk, let me know! :D
