Although I speak English all the time as I am around English people all the time now, recently I thought I'd go back to my roots and want to learn Chinese again. (I haven't decided yet whether to learn Cantonese or mandarin or both yet!) But I am going to have a look at books/DVDs/CDs very soon in shops and online!
But the thing is I'd like my son to learn too. 
But when speaking with a neighbour who has a half chinese/white grandson a year older than my boy, he said his mother (chinese) is getting him to learn and he think around three years old is far to young and says 'they're only babies!'. (And no I didn't tell him I wanted my son to learn too but I did secretly in my mind!)
It's just a nice thought if he could learn both some day. Maybe later on!

) that at one point in my life i myself wanted to learn the language.But for a start i found out that there are no alphabets,just whole words,and i backed off (not from the girls,but just the language 
)
Had a sister-in-law who used the baby Einstein videos for her son ever since he was a year old or there abouts when he was learning to talk. Anyways, he can identify several objects in English, Spanish and French. Actually the younger they are, the better they can pick it up.
