Bilingual Baby
At 18 months Elena has finally decided to share her known vocabulary. She has excellent comprehension but until now has decided to share some words. Using Spanish with her is not as easy as English would have been but the rewards are already showing because she knows words in both languages. I can't believe it! I knew that was the goal, but it is still incredible. Here are her new words:
Spanish
mama-mamá (mom)
ma- más (more)
tres- te (three)
tateta-galleta (cracker)
ga,ga-gracias (thank you)
a-agua (water)
bibi-bebé(baby)
ba-banano
English
da or sometime daaa--dee for daddy
ta-thank you
do-dog This one sounds so cute because the sound of the o is in Spanish
ba-ball
bee bee-baby
aye-hi
bye- bah-bye
