RE: Lions in cages

in #technology7 years ago

Our daughter gets about 90% in Finnish so her Finnish is slightly stronger but she doesn't confuse them at all. My wife speaks to her in Finnish or English depending on if I am around and me mostly in English (my Finnish is not great). What we have done is differentiated by 'What mummy says/ what daddy says' but now she knows the difference and uses 'in Finnish/ in English'. She knows which books are which too.

My niece is bilingual too and used to confuse the languages until about 3 years of age, it is common.

Thanks for answering my question. I am always inspired by your willingness to engage with random commenters. 😊

No problem. Conversation for me is a big part of being a part of what is to come. In random and uncertainty is where most of the value resides in life :)
