My take away is basically:

  1. Language schools don't work... your kids will hate it...

  2. Immersion is good... like maybe move to your ancestor's country... (no thanks fam, I don't like this)

  3. Only speak your heritage language to your children... And you need to know enough to fully express yourself so you don't revert back to English (or whatever your new country's language is)

Yeah... Cantonese and Mandarin might die with me... I don't even know it enough to be teaching my (future) children... too much emotional trauma from my parents 😭

I feel as long as they develop the ability to differentiate the sounds, they can learn it later if they want. That’s really the hardest part about it.
