Raising our daughter bilingually has always been the default to me. Not because itā€™s more beneficial, but because itā€™s simply whatā€™s natural to me and my family. Thereā€™s a difference between ā€œlearningā€ a language and ā€œacquiringā€ a language. (ęŽŒę”/čŗ«ć«ć¤ć‘ć‚‹) No one feels like they ā€œlearnedā€ their first language, because we all acquired it as we grew up. Things learned can be forgotten when not used. Skills acquired tend to stick for longer or come back easier. My hope for my child is not just about learning a certain number of Chinese characters or being able to hold conversations with grandparents. I hope it will be part of her life, and impact her life in a positive way, for as long as she lives. At the end of the day, my hopes are my hopes and her life is her life.
