A Study of Bilingual Chinese/English Children's Code Switching Behavior
A Study of Bilingual Chinese/English Children's Code Switching Behavior. This is an interesting article for those of you who deal with bilingual students. It is from Academic Exchange Quarterly.
From the site:
This paper reports the findings from a study that explores young Chinese/English bilingual children’s code switching behavior in a Chinese language program. In particular, it describes one bilingual child’s patterns of language use. The findings suggest that code switching was used as a communicative device by the children in the study. They switched languages during their speech in order to realize social function, pragmatic function, and meta-linguistic function. Educational implications are also provided.

Over the past year, one Collingsworth County teen had
been corresponding over the Internet with an adult
across the state, unknown to the juveniles parents.
This can be prevented in your home by
using parental control software on your computer and
by continuously having knowledge of what your child
does on the web.

I also learn mandarin by a special and innovative service in Beijing Chinese School. I like to learn in live class with teachers from Beijing directly. I also like to practice mandarin with volunteers freely everyday. Watching Chinese mandarin learning TV on CLTV is also interesting and helpful to practice listening and learn more about Mandarin
There are some free Chinese lessons designed by CCTV (China Central TV) on Learn Chinese. You can try.
Yes, there are several services where you can chat with a live teacher from Beijing. Remember though that Beijing slang is different from say, Singapore Chinese. For example:
Beijing slang: Yi dian r (a little bit/not at all).
Singapore Chinese: Yi dian dian (a little bit/not at all).
Most schools now teach Beijing slang as part of their course but is important that non-slang is taught just in case one comes across somebody who does not speak the Beijing slang (which is rare nowadays).
Free lessons for learning Chinese are available at many sites. Studying Chinese in China is also a good option but School should be perfect according to your needs......that suits you
Today free lessons are available and these lessons are so interesting that learning the other languages becomes easier. Study Mandarin in China is the best option.

Did you find it unusual???
It happens usually and the main reason is they don't have good English and they don't intend to learn.
Anyways, thanks for sharing...
