wow! that’s wonderful tobias8! isn’t it exciting to discover that our babies are learning so much more than we think they are? my daughter has amazed me so many times already even though i constantly remind myself not to underestimate her capability to learn. :biggrin: regarding her understanding 3 languages, it is quite easy for us to assess because she makes the same sign in ASL when we say things in english, chinese, or filipino (ex. eat, chÄ«, kain or take a bath, xÇzÇŽo, ligo)
aside from english and chinese, are you teaching your baby to read in the other languages too?
We are trying to teach English, Tagalog, Chinese, French and Spanish. So far he seems to really be enjoying it. We’re also trying to teach music and math, and just a little bit of ASL. Music he loves, but math he seems to resist a little more.
@aangeles, wow, thank you so much for posting this. I feel really excited to start teaching my child after watching your vdo. I know I’m late in the game, my daughter is 1, but better late than never. I’m a working parent too, could you please help me by elaborating on when you teach your child. Do you show her the cards in the morning and then twice after work? And, then the DVD before going to bed?
Thanks for your help.
Hi Aangeles,
have you heard of the baby Learn Chinese method (dvd and flashcards)
I know my daughter won’t like Wink to Learn as she does not look at flashcards or flashing dvds like TweedleWink. So far she’s been watching Little Pim but it lacks many conversationnal words like greetings etc. but i have no idea what the dvd is made of
it costs 68$ for the first set.
also has someone heard about Globe Toddlers? This is what it says about the series in the asianparent website: Description: .This DVD just won the “2008 DVD of the Year” award by Creative Child Magazine! With 115+ words spoken and written in Mandarin with associated Pin Yin (and English, Spanish and French), this DVD is an excellent product for helping a child build his/her vocabulary in Chinese.
You and your daughter are a wonderful example that learning is fun and even working parents can do it. I think many people believe a myth that they have to spend hours a day teaching their babies as though it is a full time job. Thanks for your videos. Your daughter is adorable. Good job, Mama
I know this is an old topic but so inspiring. :yes: and amazing. I would also love to read more about your schedules.
I have searched for the composer’s portrait online but couldn’t find as good pictures as yours. Do you think you could help with the links? I have googled some but some are so small that if I make it bigger the picture is not very clear.
I was actually happy to see the size of your english flashcards as that is the size I started to use to teach her Slovak and it is not the recommended size.So I am happy to see they work anyway
How did you show them as you had different words on both sides?
many thanks
Sorry for the delayed reply. I had all the composer portraits saved in my computer but my hard drive had crashed sometime after I took these videos and I lost them all, so it took me some time to look up the links again. I printed the pics on 8x10 photo paper instead of cardstock and laminated them.
Regarding the flashcards, those were the ones that came with the YBCR package and I did not actually use them to teach her to read. We used them more for playing games with her and for checking on her progress (okay, okay… for testing her :ohmy: ) once in a while so it did not matter much that there were different words on the two sides of the flashcards.
