| i was just about to start a thread asking about this.
My daughter is 19 months and is pretty vocal. she gets english from me, cantonese from the helper and grandma, and a mixture of the 2 from her dad.
I work full time, so she gets more exposure to cantonese. She understands everything i say in english, and mainly responds in english, but there are certain things she always says in canto, like gow gow jew (go to bed) gai gai (go out) ligo (that one) and has started calling me "mummy-ah". it drives me crazy! i always correct her when she does it (ie say it in english), but am worried that she mixes up the languages. will she just sort this out by herself, or do i need to do more? |
