wow, you have yr own book! Congrats!

Mac mmg tekankan English pada anak2. Alhamdullillah they are comfortable with the language, what more the school that they go to has 60% nonmalays. So peluang nak cakap English tu banyak. Akan tetapi, ada juga yg stick to their own race.

My 8 yr old girl came back yesterday. SHe complaint that her malay classmate, cakap yg dia Kristian. When she asked why, budak tu kata because my girl speaks good ENglish and selalu dapat 100 in English exams.

My girl taklah upset sangat. Mac pun slow talk dgn dia, suruh ignore statements like that, or maybe suruh cakap kat Ustazah next time budak tu ckp mcm tu.

But apa yg mac wonder is, where did that child get such an idea? From family background? Family/Home environment yg ridicule the usage of English language?

i reckon, too much TV kot.... kids associate mat salleh with english thus the idea plus maybe her/his family background itself mmg mcm tu....

i remembered when i grew up bila cakap english je people associate me with being 'eksyen' but tak kisah la kan.....

in my sons case pulak... i am slowly trying to teach my sons malay which is not working out very well. probably besides me & hubby (itu pun we normally converse in english) , no one else around us yg cakap malay.

ye la, nak gak diorang at least understand malay if not being able to speak....

Spidernfly,

Tq for the credit.. I think you know the sources of yr problem already isn't it..?

So maybe from now on sorang kena designate cakap BM 100% with yr son.. So kalau u yg cakap BM then bila u cakap dgn hubby u kena cakap BM tapi hubby kena reply in BI.

Cam I, anak I dah byk faham vocab2 BI n leh dah cakap tapi BM still the dominant language sebab I still speak to my wife in BM.

Mac,

Tu dah buku ke-4 dah cuma segan nak iklankan takut Mod2 marah..

Yup , i pun ingat dulu2, sapa cakap english, dikatanya action.

My no 2 mmg 100% cakap English. So sekarang ni I forbid dia from reading English books. Her BM is atrocious.... haha. Its bec her friends (both malays and nonmalays) speaks English aje. Ini group first batch maths n science in English. So Mac kena tekankan BM kat dia.

Dah std 5 tahun ni, she asked me, "mama, angan-angan tu apa?" Arghhh.....

Mac,

Yup. Dah 4 books tapi most of the time I am involved in teaching Englih to school students and also adult students at my home in Puchong..

From time to time I also conduct English courses for organisation such as Majlis Perbandaran Selayang, FAMA n Kementerian Kesihatan.

Ada gak buat translation sikit2..

I am doing all these on a full time basis. So kalau ada mana2 co. ygnak carik trainer BI jangan lupa I.

Thanks Spidernfly for the nuts. TErimakasih daun keladi..... hehe.

I totally understand u. From my kindy days to my primary days, I was in the US. There were no Malays staying in that area at that time. From mama, I called my mom, mummy, and called my dad, daddy. I spoke 100% Amercican English, siap dengan slang lagi.

After a few yrs, we went back to Malaysia.... and guess what? I cant remember a single malay word. I had a hard time at school in the beginning, being the girl yg tak tau ckp BM and speaks English funny.

So i understand, if u kata susah nak suruh yr kids speak BM. The environment is such that susah nak suruh the kids speak BM.

my son balik UK with zero BM...duk 4 bulan kat rumah abg, terus master...tapi kefahaman dlm BM penulisan masih sgt lemah...me kena translate setiap kali dia habis baca buku BM..

tapi masalah plak bila dia pilih utk berdiam bila org cakap BM...lama gak nak pulih

cikgutuition · Post time 31-7-2007 08:25 PM

my-alja,

Maybe you could do it subtly or you should make sure that you always use correct grammar all the time and also always encourage them to use correct grammar and praise them for correct usage of grammar from time to time.

If yr son lemah in writing then you should try to encourage him to read more in BM.
