Learning a New Language
I always see a smile when my daughter remembers a word in another language, without me prompting. "I know, I know, Mama! It's 'shapka!'" Shapka is 'hat' in Russian. The more prevalent languages they hear are French, Spanish and Korean, some Japanese. I try to speak to them in Korean and French when I can so they hear other sounds - I think it's important they hear the variety. "Kham-sa" is five in Arabic whereas "gham-sa" in Korean is to thank. It's fun learning these new words with the kids - they usually remember them better than I do. :)
