I think Bilingualism is the way to go!
What happened to immersion as a good way to learn a language? Many studies have shown its effectiveness.
I really feel that to master a language, we'd really have to learn to use it by using it. Using English to teach Chinese should not be an explicit method but one that is used when no other methods suffice or work. GAH! Embrace the fact that Chinese is a language learnt by rote learning and English is, to some extent, a phonology-based language. Okay i am gonna continue on this another day. I learn so much about this in psychology that i feel strongly about this issue. Can someone like Dr Susan educate or advise him?!?
and so she ponders, wishes & scribbles
