Guessed a lot of Chinese parents will be worried about their kids in term of learning Bahasa Malaysia. So does mother. Mother got a bad experience in learning BM and also poor in BM. Besides that mummy did hear about parents complaining about the standard 1 student being requested to construct sentences in BM. Their kids not interested in learning BM and blah blah .....
Mother worried about it when we are back to Malaysia. Afraid that Ethan cannot accept the BM, gets mixed up and confused with English. These few weeks, Ethan occasionally surprised us as he will pop out some of the BM words like nenek, susu, mata and sayur. Mummy knows that all the credit belonged to the teacher in the school as shamed to say we did not teach him any BM at home. Mummy knows that this is not a big deal for some parents but for it is a great head start for Ethan. What can we expect as he only learn this language for 3 months plus. Besides that he also can pronounce some of the "Suku Kata' when we asked him to.
Today he surprised us again. He picked up the "Kaya" on the table we bought for the bread. He tried to read the word "Kaya" by pronouncing 'ka' and 'ya' then he said combined became Kaya. Even his pronunciation was not really accurate but we were pleased that he tried his best.
Seeing that he can accept the BM, so mummy plans to start reading the BM story book to him. (If possible pass this task to daddy since he always claimed he scored As in BM). So far he only listen to the English and Chinese story books. Since mummy still newbie of choosing the BM book so we will start by borrowing the book from the public library. Now the first things we need to do is to become library members.
