Re: 2006年9月TSL小一家長請進
2000626,
My personal comments are as below.
1) If you want your kid to learn French/Japanese just for interest, either one is fine as long as your daughter likes it.
2) But if you think about it more pragmatically (i.e. whether this third language will be useful for your kid or not in future career), you may consider the following.
Japanese : mainly used in Japan
French : used in France, part of Switzerland, part of Italy, part of Belgium, part of Luxembourg (Europe); Quebec & French-speaking provinces (Canada); some countries in the (Carribean Sea); former French colonies in (Africa) and various islands in the Pacific Ocean and some people in Vietnam and Laos (Asia)
As we are in HK, the young generation likes the Japanese culture, clothes, food and comic books very much and a lot of HK people like to go to Japan for vacation as well.
There are more Japanese companies in HK and there could be relatively higher chance to work for a Japanese company than a French company.
Geographically, HK is much farther from France than from Japan so theoretically, we should have relatively less chance in using French here, unless we work in a French company. But you can use French in a much wider territory than Japanese.
However, my personal bias is that when a girl speaks French, it sounds beautiful.
I guess other TSL parents may have different views on this.
