As multiple languages are used among the Foochow community in Sarikei, which is located in Sarawak, East Malaysia, they provide the researcher an opportunity to observe the influence of different languages, namely Mandarin, Malay, English, and Foochow dialect in the song learning process of 16 six year-old children.
