It’s allergy season and my nose has been acting up.
This morning, my almost 2-year old daughter pointed at my nose and said, “hana”.
I replied, “Yeah, hana.”
She replied, “One, two.”

Umm… Japanese and stuff?

That’s so cute! Aha
Man, I wish I was born with multiple languages
Are you teaching your child(ren?) more than one language?
I know a friend who currently speaks a bunch of different languages. His parents spoke chinese and french. On his own he learned english at school.
We are trying. She knows words like “nose” and “ear” in English, Korean, and Japanese but English is definitely her strongest language. We’ll see I guess. It’s tough because she has to learning everything x3.
That’s really cute, haha! 🙂
I was hired by a family as a live-in tutor/au pair, and taught their one-year-old English. All we did was play together, while I spoke English. It took a month or two to be able to pick up on the language, but at age two, she could understand everything I said (and could easily tell me thousands of stories of her imaginary friends). This year, she’s learning Chinese as a third language with a tutor who comes a couple of hours each week, and can understand the teacher well but never actually speaks in Chinese.
I think as long as a child is having fun, they really don’t care what language they’re learning/speaking after a while. It just takes some getting used to.
