I believe you started to learn Chinese as early as during the Japanese occupation perhaps you would like to share with us the experience?; You knew what that meant?; Have you succeeded in picking up words in areas other than politics and economics over the years? 327 $aWere you worried about the political cost of giving up Hokkien as many people were then still speaking dialects?You have not seen any example of people who speak good dialects English and Mandarin?; The motivation behind your effort in learning Mandarin appears to have been primarily political. With a changing environment particularly as more of the voters are now conversant in English why have you persevered in the effort to learn Mandarin? What moves you on?; What do you now do to keep up your Mandarin?; For those passive words and phrases how do you revise them or find ways to use them? 327 $aWhat about seizing opportunities to practise speaking Mandarin how do you do that now?In learning Mandarin what were some difficulties that you encountered and how did you overcome them?; Does this not apply to only the adult learners?; How would you rate your progress in learning Mandarin?; It appears that creating this big environment (da huan Jing) conducive to language learning is critical?; What else can be done?; Does the family not have to play a bigger part then whether in terms of practising the language or others? 327 $aHowever when English became the working language some people struggled to speak the language. Parents spoke halting English - somehow broken - to their kids. Are you worried that the same will happen with the encouragement of a greater usage of Mandarin?Are you optimistic that with the rise of China the bigger environment or da huan jing to learn Mandarin is created and more people will be motivated to team Mandarin?; Is there any worry that as more Mainland Chinese know English better then Singaporeans will lose our edge? 327 $aWould you not say that the motivation is the key to the learning of a language?For people who have had some foundation in Chinese but have lost it along the way and now hope to pick it up again would you have any advice?; Do you think that for an adult learner getting a teacher is essential; QuotabLe Quotes; Teaching Chinese to Adults An Interview with MM Lee's Chinese Language Tutor Professor Chew Cheng Hai; When did you start giving Chinese lessons to MM Lee? 327 $aHave there been any changes to his course curriculum since 1975? For example in terms of the vocabulary that he picks up has there been a shift in focus? 330 $aLearn Mandarin while you brush your teeth or shave?
