This is amazing...

I knew that little kids learn a language fast. But what little Nina BoBo is "producing" is mind-boggling. She is learning English SO super fast!
We have been home 2 weeks now, and we've had her for almost four. Here is her vocabulary so far:

Mama
Baba (sometimes Baba-Daddy)
Nico
Anya
No (figures!!)
yellow bus
Yo-Ma (=Grandma)
Ladybug
come here
Hello
Hi
Bye Bye
Fish
Pooh
sleep
More
Please
milk
Yummy
Pee-pee
it's okay
cookie (Nico taught her that!)
gum
cow
pretty
Banana
monkey
puppy
ball
shoes
Miaow
Lob'you (=Love you)
brush teeth
peekaboo
Amen
bossy


signs more, please, sleep,fish, eat and drink

I wish I could speak that much Chinese!

Tja, dies ist ja wirklich cool! Werdet ihr irgendwie ermöglichen, dass sie das chinesische nicht verlernt? Ev. mit Kontakten zu Chinesen oder so?
Aber Brandee hat es doch gesagt, dass es 4 Wochen dauert, bis die neue Sprache "funktionniert"... eben auch
Schwiizerdütsch ( wir kommen ja erst in 9 1/2 Wochen!!
liebe Grüsse - händ en gsägnete Sunntig!

Wow, thats pretty fast! I remember Jonell learning very fast too even though she was nearly 5 at the time, it took her around 6 months to speak english like any other british child including the accent!
Great to read about Nina's development and she seems to be very comfy with her new life! :o)))


Love,
