That’s great!

Our roots, our homes, our customs, should be taught to the children.

Yep, it's difficult as the English language is so dominant but we still try our best to teach her Hmong and Mandarin.

Nice! How about the parents, do you continue to learn Mandarin and does your wife continue to learn Hmong?
