When we forget to speak chinese for days and then we had to do our Chinese lesson, this is what my 5 yr-old son will say " I dislike chinese". And today I made him tell me 10 good reasons why we should and must learn chinese. Here's his version.
1) We must learn Chinese so we can become smart.
2) We must learn Chinese so that when we go to China, we can speak to people in Chinese.
3) We must learn Chinese so that we can answer others when they speak Chinese to us.
4) We must learn Chinese so that people will not laugh at us.
5) We must learn Chinese so we can sing Chinese songs.
6) We must learn Chinese so that we can read Chinese books.
7) We must learn Chinese because God made us Chinese.
8) We must learn Chinese because it it a beautiful language.
9) We must learn Chinese so we can watch "Who are the Chinese".
10) .... ?

Will he not hate Chinese more having to answer 10 questions? :)
HI Jane...
haha no, we need good reasons WHY we are doing things that don't seemed pleasant for us at the moment, because adults get caught up in the routine and in the doing and often forget WHY. That was a nice reminder and he remembers them well. :) We are conversing in mandarin now, which is a great leap!
