We are franco-polish family living now in USA... We have three children, DS is 45 months, DD 22 months and DS 3 months. I spend most the time with them and when we are alone we speak polish. When we are all together, we speak french ( so mornings/ evenings and weekends) and english is for outside the home and read alouds / story time before nap. My daughter started to speak at about 16 months but she spoke directly in all three languages
She tell me something in polish and then she turns and tell the same thing to my hubby in french I have no idea how many words she can say but each day she tell something new. She can perfectly understand also in any of these languages... All this to tell you that if you have this opportunity, go ahead It's not only about one more language, it's one more culture, like one whole world 'de plus'
Advice hmm special bound with granddaughter?
Sharing unique stories, memories? Giving enormous opportunity and greater start in life? Or build stronger brain architecture? All of our grandparents are so far from us, but they will be really happy to share such adventure with their grandchildren... We don't really use anything supplementary, just everyday life. Sometimes we listen to some french nursery rhymes (comptines) on you tube. We have some french books here and read them sometimes. Some time ago I bought a Wink to Learn french dvds but I don't like them. There is also quite a few mistakes (like words say foot and picture shows feet etc). I'm waiting for french curriculum to be released for Little Reader.
If you have any questions, just let me know
