    What you say is quite true she will pick up Chinese quickly . However you will need a homework tutor to help her with her homework minimum one hour six nights a week . All the considerable homework 'notices 'on line study even math all in Chinese character . This is for p1: even then it will be tough for her without Chinese speaker at home and tough for you .it's worthwhile in the end but you need compensate properly for you being unable to help her in the early years when she needs your help the most to avoid her falling behind her peers. I am a westerner but reasonably fluent in written and spoken Chinese but even for me my daughter p1homework takes a massive amount of time

    both of my kids are in the chinese stream. while not impossible for non-chinese-speaking kids, it is very challenging.....
