With over 1.2 billion speakers, Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world. There are four fundamental tones and one neutral tone in Mandarin, making learning it challenging. Even words that have the same Hanyu Pinyin spelling might have a different meaning depending on the pitch and intonation utilised. Although it is not impossible, teaching Chinese to toddlers in a home where neither parent knows the language requires a lot of effort on the part of both the child and the parent. Many parents want their children to be multilingual in Chinese but are unsure of the most effective strategy. Have you wondered how can you teach your children a language you don’t even speak yourself?
