Ever wander how kids master language skill? As for me, I am grateful for where I was born, where I get to learn Mandarin from my parents; Hokkien from Father’s parents; Cantonese from Mother’s parents; Thai from my maid; Bahasa Melayu & English from school.  Language is more than just academic,learning a language is meaningless without the culture and environment behind it. I sometimes wander how am I going to teach my child to effective multi-lingual; how to give them the exposure to multi-lingual environment?  Perhaps, expose them with Mandarin (which I think is quite difficult), then follow by Hokkien & Cantonese, lastly with English & Malay. Any suggestion?
