Good for you ! I wish we kept that
My wife and I speak really watered down canto. Terrible white-people accents. We're still insisting on speaking it - shittily - to our kid so he'll at least have some connection to his roots.

Off-topic: for ya'll sticking your kids in chinese school, are you doing canto or mandarin? I don't prefer mando but i'm not blind to the fact that China's like a rolling tank: in future mandarin's going be hella more useful. And at least, not getting turned away for a test drive like uncle EvoFire here.
