We are a trilingual family. My husband and I speaks our native languages to Maya and English between us. Until recently, we didn't have conversation all together. Now Maya is getting better and better in English. She just wants to get into our conversation at dinner time and dictates it! She doesn't understand all of what we talk. But once she finds one word she knows, she joins us and talks nonstop, forgetting to eat! It is great to have family conversation finally, but also a little bit annoying.....
So lovely to get into conversation with little ones, they are fascinating at this age, especially when they start asking question after question.....how do you stop that? She sounds funny, forgetting to eat and chattering away!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Julie!
ReplyDeleteIt is very fun. She often pick one word from our conversation and talks about it forever! The other day, we said "a funny guy". Then she started "Do you know? I dreamed about a funny guy.....................!"
But at breakfast, it is very difficult to make her understand that she is going to be late for school!
