If you want your kid to be able to speak cantonese, it should be taught 1st. English being universal here will present no difficulties.Would teach English first before Cantonese because that was the method my mother used.
Mundiai'd teach them english first and my parents will teach them urdu/punjabi.
It's important to preserve your culture imo, but also to be prepped for society, so whilst i'd prioritise english, I'd like them to learn the language of their culture too.
Yeah, most viet, chinese, etc. kids tend to appreciate Korean and Japanese hobbies more such as K-Pop, Korean Drama and Anime. I'm a perfect example.If you want your kid to be able to speak cantonese, it should be taught 1st. English being universal here will present no difficulties.
I've seen many Chinese migrant mothers speaking to their young kids in their 2nd-rate English. Children growing up here usually have no pride in their Asian heritage. If they are not given the vital start in their heritage language, then they can kiss it goodbye - i.e. if they give it a damn. The Korean kids mostly can speak Korean. They are proud to be Koreans. The Chinese usually are not so proud of their roots, from my observation.

+1 to this and your previous post.Mundia
They will pick up their English in no time flay. Once they become accustomed to communicating in English, they'll have less motivation learning an alien language. So they should 1st acquire punjabi/urdu before it is too late. Once that critical 1st 4-yr is lost, it becomes irretrievable. Believe you me.

Very true, it's quite unfortunate to see the number of Chinese people having absolutely no pride or interest in Chinese culture. I myself regret not knowing more about Chinese history and I would wager probably 95% of the new generation of Chinese kids know nothing about Chinese history.If you want your kid to be able to speak cantonese, it should be taught 1st.
