English, Mandarin and Spanish--all at once?

Hello!

I’m new here and am still researching the Doman Method for teaching young babies to read.
We speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese in our home. I’d like to teach reading of these same languages (and possibly more).
Have any of you tried doing the reading flashcards in English, Chinese and Spanish?
If so, did you do them simultaneously or only one language at a time?
In the daily 5 flashcard sets, did you use 5 cards in English for one session and then 5 cards in Chinese for another session, etc.?
I’m just curious what’s been tried and what the results were like.
Thanks for any info any of you might have. :slight_smile:

Hello!

I am currently doing the flashcard method with my son in several different languages including chinese, spanish, and english. I have tailored my sessions according to my son, so I don’t do 5 cards per session anymore. Right now I pick one topic in all of the languages and I stick with that for two weeks and then I move on to a new topic. I think my son prefers it that way and if he likes it I love it :slight_smile:

Hello!

I was trying to put together a couple of people to create multilingual presentations. We actually need to start working on this :yes: We thought about taking the brillkids slides and including the slide in spanish and mandarin and more languages later on as we get volunteers. We have a volunteer for mandarin, but she needs to get a microphone. Would you be interested in helping with this too? I’ll be doing the spanish slides.

Check this link, it may give you a couple of answers to your question.
