Children will use the language they are exposed to and familiar with. If family members,friends and teachers use Singlish, he will likely pick up the rhythm and speech patterns that make up Singlish .
Shi Xu is one of the example . He has learnt to speak singlish . I have no idea he picks up from us or the teachers in school . Anyway I do feel that we should start our children off on the right path and teach them to speak proper English at this young age. We have to be more mindful of language now .
Here are some of his singlish
Shi Xu :"Where is my handphone leh ?"
Shi Xu :"be careful ah !"
Shi Xu :" Dont move ah ! "
Shi Xu :"Wait ah ! "
