[quote=WSTEVE,226103]Hi, every body. I come back again!I am Chinese who live in HuangPu Guangzhou. i can provide u apartment cheaper than market price . if u r interested in and have patient teaching my son English(he is 3 years old with no base on English). This apartment will be more cheaper or even free. Here is some information :1.My apartment is with 3 rooms , one hall, one bathroom, one toilet(it is detached),one kitchen. At first floor. Whole building is 4 floors.2.I can speak standard mandarin and Cantonese. If u want to study those languages, that is my pleasure. 3.There is a supermarket nearby within 5mins by walking. There are kinds of sport stuff in the uptown. You can running (200m course), playing basketball, football, badminton and Ping-Pong.  4.From here to Shenzhen is about 180km (2 hours by bus). It will take u 10 mins to walk to the bus station.5.The dock to HK is about half an hour by bus.6.I wish my son can learn the pure English, not chinglish(Chinese English), lol..., and I am not rich, so I think up this way. Other things:the language professor said it is better for a child 2 study language earlier. The best way is learn it as mother language.I can write and speak English. but not good enough to teach.The " teach" that I mean is give him a language environment, talk with him, teach him something. not very serious, not study systematically with a book. But if u promise to teach him, u must take some time everyday with him when u live here. My son can speak mandarin and Cantonese smoothly because we speak these two languages when he was born. If u were here before, u should know how different between these two languages. So I think I can let him speak one more. I also can improve my oral too. Learn to speak the language first and grammar later, this is the best way to learn a foreign language. Get a foreigner live with us to speak to the child with "GOOD" pronunciation. Then get a Chinese to teach him grammar, maybe years later , Chinese are usually better grammar teachers than foreigners, imo. :-)my e-mail address: steve_w@ehomenet.com[/quote]
