Speak Mandarin Campaign 2009

It is amazing to see these foreign kids speaking such good Mandarin, reciting Chinese poems and stories. I believe these children must have been living in China or at least in a Chinese speaking environment as they have a mainland Chinese accent in the Mandarin they speak. Most people in Singapore will not have this accent.



I am not sure how effective this Speak Chinese Campaign advertisement will be on Singaporeans with such non-local Chinese accent. However, it will definitely encourage the non-Chinese communities in Singapore to take up Mandarin or allow their children to learn Mandarin from young. With a good environment and exposure to the language from young, children will be encouraged to pick up the new language, master it and it will serve them for life.
