| where r u from and where r u going to be eventaully? If you dont see your family going to stay here in HK for good then I really dont mind her not knowing much contonese, somehow she will pick up when she starts to play with other local kids (if you do find her local playmates). The local here really wants their kids to learn Mandarin and your are concerned that she will not know Cantonese.... My son speaks English and his dad speaks contonese to him but his closest playmate is Mandarin speaking so he is learning and speaking 3 languages at the same time. 19 months soon. His sister is 8+, she has no problem speaking 3 languages although she goes to English-Mandarin School but Cantonese is better than Mandarin because of her local playmates.
