Mandarin chinese speaking mums on Harringay Ladder

I'm a mother of a 13 month old girl. I'm from China and I'm keen on teaching my daughter my mother tongue. my husband is Australian although he can speak a bit of Mandarin, we mostly speak English at home. With no families and no Manderin speaking mum friends in London, it is really difficult to provide her with a Chinese speaking environment! Are there any chinese speaking mums locally that have the same idea? Maybe we can start a Manderin playgroup if we can get a couple of mums with young babies interested? I'd like our baby to hear the sound of Mandarin more often and through a fun way. I work part time and have Fridays off. Weekend playgroup is also possible. If you are interested please get in touch here! I will DM you my email address.

This could be a good start, apologies if you already know about it; http://www.haringeychinesecentre.org.uk/

They have newsletters, maybe they have a noticeboard.

Hi CherieK, have you tried putting a notice out on the Harringay NCT mailing list, they have a large list of mums, they already have the spanish speaking mums group.

It's not in Harringay but my friend runs the Chopsticks Club.  Lots of Mandarin there.

Mandarin only? I am fluent in Cantonese if you speak that too?

Hi, I am in similar situation to you! I have a 16 months old daughter and I speak to her in madarin but I speak English to my husband. We moved from Australia 5.5 years ago. Would like to meet up! We live by Seven Sosters Rd.

Sorry I don't speak Cantonese, but I can understand a little bit as watched many HK soap dramas when I grew up.
