回覆:蘇浙 v. victoria

honestly don't you guys think mandarin is actually not difficult to learn? I wasn't from a mandarin speaking family nor a mandarin speaking school, I was in a Cantonese speaking primary school But I speak fluent (not native) mandarin everyday!

Moreover, I have a nephew graduated from kcs primary so he has an excellent pronunciation of mandarin But when we traveled to China he wasn't willing to speak, so having the ability but no confident is still useless?

To me, language is not all about pronunciation and grammar, language was meant to be for communication.  I'm Sure if the kid is smart enough, he'll be able to communicate even in simple body language.

Just a little comment, 不喜勿插

Totally agree.
I never apply KCS. To me, Vic vs KCS = eng vs PTH. My husband learns mandarin at college and can speak fluently because of need at work. I learn mandarin since primary but cannot say a word now because I don't need to speak mandarin. Therefore, I strongly believe learning mandarin early is useless.

I think it is always good to have kids to learn a language earlier.  mmm....cannot say it is useless.  Kids with early exposure to PTH may speak and write better.

Just some thoughts ...

to me, mandarin is not only a form of "spoken language", rather, it is a form of "written Chinese" which is different from Cantonese.  我手寫我口 is something that Cantonese can't do.  i think this is another good thing for having good mandarin foundation ... it may also lay a good foundation for learning Chinese.

Of course to me, both English and Chinese are equally important, but perhaps Chinese is even more difficult to master.

I agree Chinese language is important that's why I want to stay in HK longer for my kids to learn Chinese characters.  Alot of the language specialists and 教育家 already suggest kids to learn only mother tongue before 5-6 years old, and my choice of kindergarten for them based on environment and teaching method which I wish they can freely develope their inner talent. I guess I'm a bit contradicting as well, seems like I want a Chinese environment international school for my kids education.

I will choose KCS, as it is more easy and lot of choice to find english course outside. my niece studied K is KCS, she is really confident in mandarine. moreover I think it is important to let kid learn more chinese in K as once they go into Primary, the chinese part can be very difficult. These are the comment form those mom whose their kid are in P1 now, so dun neglect it, and kid always think chinese is boring. so we must keep them interested in it at early stage.

I know where you are coming from.  I kind of agree that it is not necessary to have such a heavy weighting on PTH.

thanks for your comments.  but the truth is that i still haven't made up my mind (and there seems to be quite a long way before i can).  On the one hand and as said, i do appreciate the significance of Chinese, but on the other hand, i likewise recognize the importance of giving the kids an environment that they could freely explore and learn, and also a place where they can nurture their self-confidence.  This is an area that Victoria is doing very good (on top of its excellent English language environment - and importantly, that's learning by exposing to the language, rather than "stuff-duck" style of learning).  

So ... really tough choice ...

又一揠苗助長例子。真係冇需要咁早,這些小朋友以後唔會喜歡學習,又或有情緒病,何必呢?太多失敗的例子, ...
十分同意!要小朋友返兩間幼稚園,學多d野,咁點解d家長唔返多幾份工,搵多d$呀?

Is it you have a son/daughter studying Vic before?  If yes, you should know Vic better than anyone else.  Especially the weakness of Vic..........

From my guessing, you will apply for another k1 school for your kid at the end of this year anyway (since kcs does not guarantee for k1 nor p1), and I believe your kid is so smart to be get both offers this year, she'll be able to get a even better k1 offer next year!  


Nothing to worry about!
