Same thing! I speak cantonese to my kids from when they were born. Husb speak to them in hokkien. Along the way we speak a bit of english with them and later when exposed to cartoons on tv they somehow pick up english better. Their chinese be it mandarin or dialects are hopeless, even though all the adults at home do not converse in english among one another.

Definitely, culture and environment does play a party.. Or friends.. I was forced to pick up Cantonese because all my friends were speaking it.
