Although English, Chinese, Malaysian, and Indian are used here, and education is bilingual, most of the younger generation of Chinese are only able to carry on a basic conversation in Chinese. Most lack an interest in studying advanced Chinese.
雖然新加坡用的語言有英語、華語、馬來語、印度語四種，學校也採雙語教育（除了英語，另選一種語文主修），但是由於和「實用」脫節，年輕一代的華人子弟，通常一般華語會話尚可應付，但若談到進一步學華文，大多興趣缺缺。
