Yet another voice clip from Chloe! I really think I should start doing Chloe's Voice instead, lol... Anyway, a little background info to get you going before sharing the clip~
So I grew up speaking Cantonese, like really decent Cantonese compared to my peers thanks to my grandpa (from Guangdong province of China) and Stephen Chow (yup, it's true and I bet half of the Canton-speaking Malaysians got the same influences too), thus I always wanted my child to be able to speak Cantonese fluently, which makes better sense now that we are living in San Francisco. But god knows why, ever since she was born, she just doesn't "click" with this language, despite the fact that we're in Malaysia for 4 months plus and she was literally raising in Cantonese-speaking home that time. I tried. We tried. Then my mom said it's better not to confuse her. So I stop. Whenever I try to talk to her in Cantonese, she will either give me a blank stare or make funny sounds or totally ignore me by looking away.
Until recently, I realized that our semi-weekly dim sum time at Chinese restaurant can really sparkle her interests and motivate her to at least try to repeat some of the words I said in Cantonese!!!
Click H.E.R.E to listen, enjoy!
Nope, I didn't expect her to repeat every single words after me. Too darling, I now have my very own little McDull at home :D
Have a great weekend ahead and please eat more dim sum for Chloe :p
XOXO,
Mama Bev
