i have an 8mth old at home, hub n i speak to him in english, where both side grandparents in mandarin & hokkien.

Im thinking is it necessary for hub n myself to start switching to mandarin so that after attending childcare he will not just speak english? In my personal perspective it is more difficult to master Chinese than English thus im worried m
