Would you teach your children your native language?

[[purple banana]]

(chinese)
probably, but i dont know much myself,
if my kids started talking chinese more/better than i did id yell at them and tell them to speak english x)  

[soyXsauce]

i definetely would be. u can't learn my dialect from any school anyways, its the old school ChaoZhou chinese dialect. so the pressure is all on me.  

[Fo C h e e_z a y]

of course smile
and maybe be multi-lingual, like myself.
umm... bengali, hindi, arabic, punjabi, spainsh (from school), japanese (can understand 50% ,but the slow at speaking) oh..and english :]
 

[MixedUp92]

I would love to but I can't even speak it myself. I wish I did though. I use to be really fluent but then it just all got away from once I started school. I can understand daily stuff but I feel awkward if I reply in Chinese.  

[Iseru Dryves]

Heck yes. My babies will be fluent in Chinese and ...English (since it's my second language). 3nodding  

[Kato Danzo]

I would definitely teach my kids our native language hmong korean and english  

[Samsoonie]

lol im going to give my kids the speech my parents gave me! "susie it may be ohio outside, but in this house is south korea so you will speak korean!!" biggrin haha it worked!  

[Super_Sweetgurl88]

Definitely.
though my parents did teach me, its just i never speak it biggrin
and so i kinda forgot like half of it lol
but i'm gonna teach them all I know and then send them off to some skewl to learn it. true like wat u said, wat's the use of bein ur ppl when u cant speak the language?
i'm gonna try to make them fluent and stay that way

I believe that maintaining ones culture heritage is something that should be of prime importance, and therefore, my children will be taught Vietnamese. It would be shame for them to live in a home where the culture is prevalent and not know the language itself. |:
 

[Xia Rocks Your Butt]

Haha! That's kinda funny. I'm not very good in my native language, nor am i very good with English. But I'd totally teach my children our Native language!  

[-Sun Candy-]

Definitely! My parents did that to me, and without it, I would know nothing of my ancestors or culture! So yeah, I'm going to teach my kids Chinese and English!  

[Sesshomaruka]

We'll i want to ><
but i can't even speak my nataive language(s). . .
it depends on what my husband is gonna be, and if he knows how to speak the language, then go ahead xD.  

[XobsessiveX]

I'm definitely gonna teach my kids viet and move to a place with a viet school. Also I'm gonna send them to chinese`school. Half of my family is chinese. I remember family reunions were really confusing cause I didn't understand my chinese relatives and that made me mad. I use to nag my dad to teach me but he never did. I want my kids to have more oppertunities with languages then me.  

[ShigureAishite]

I uhhh.....kinda learned english and vietnamese at the same time...you see, my whole family spoke to me in viet....but all I did was watch cartoons on t.v. so I learned viet while learning english from being a t.v. addict. XD Anyhoo, I plan on teaching my kids viet. <.< gotta have a way to scold them without other people in public knowing that im scolding them.>.>  

[brokenbarrier]

Of course I will. My major language is Vietnamese, and my other side is Japanese. I am going to teach them all I know (which is not a lot but more than most) and send them to school if they can't pick it up. I am going to excel in English, but I do not want my children feeling in the dark when I say something they cannot understand. (but no curse words! they will never know any bad words... as long as I can help it)
And...
