Non-Chinese Speaking Mandarin

In Singapore, the Speak Mandarin Campaign 2009 kicks off its 30th Anniversary with a series of television commercials that challenge Singaporeans to be heard in Mandarin.

That's really impressive. Actually, I was a professional teacher, teaching cihnese as a foreign language. But I am not experienced in teaching babies and kids. I just started showing flashcards to my 6-months baby. Hope in the future,  she can do the same as those in the VDOs.

I saw one of these commercials on TV and was pretty blown away by these kids. They sound like they've lived in China for years. The pronunciation of these kids are much better than the average Singaporeans. I'm a native Chinese, but living in Singapore and surrounded by English speaking people, my son speaks Chinese with a heavy accent (like you would expect from a Non-Chinese). <Sigh>

Also, I am not sure if you spend much time on the computer, but if you have skype you can find someone to have lessons with you through there. There is a website that I joined called mylanguageexchange.com that I have met many people from all over the world. Hope this helps and good luck!!

This is a WONDERFUL idea! Thank you very much! I thick my German teacher would be interested in the mylanguageexchange website too so she can practice also!
