I'm definitely getting more used to using Cantonese on the kids - Beck more so than Maile. I'm still confusing the crap out of myself as I slip in mandarin here and there, and try to correct it. Maile's been asking me "what does that mean", so I think she wouldn't mind learning it. I definitely do English with Maile more than I should - gotta work on that!
There's clearly a long way to go tho, it'll be a while before they understand me! The books say you have to talk to a kid 20-30% of their waking hours so that they can minimally pick up a language. That's a lot of talking!
On with the experiment!
