Many overseas Chinese make their kids learn the Chinese language because they don’t want them to lose their mother language.
In the city of Portland in the USA, there is a weekend Chinese school in a church. In the school, there are Chinese kids and American kids. They study Chinese on Saturdays and Sundays. Teachers at the school are usually some overseas Chinese women. Miss Tian is one of them. She is from Beijing. She teaches her students many Chinese characters, sentences and Chinese songs.
Most of these kids speak English better than Chinese, because they spend most of their time at the local school, and their classmates are American.Their teachers teach them in English.
When the overseas Chinese children get home after school, their parents often speak Chinese to them. Only at that time do they think they are at home.
