Nadine's generally doing quite well in school, and even for Chinese, she's making baby progress. She has progressed from thinking that she's not Chinese and therefore not wanting to learn Chinese, to asking me to read Chinese books to her. That, to me, is a huge step forward. I don't want to pressurise her any more. But I was surprised when MaMa told me about a conversation she had with Nadine last week.
MaMa: 你是不是在學芭蕾舞？
Nadine (thought for a while): 星期四
MaMa (pleased that Nadine tried to answer in Mandarin): 那游泳呢
Nadine (counting): 星期六
MaMa: 音樂呢
Nadine (counting): 星期二
So pleased with her! Yes, Berries can wait!
