Yes, just like you, I suppose that she know the difference between languages since a very early time (clearly that I and my husband use our own language to talk to her, but we talk English to each other and she hears English everyday). So when I talk English to her and she replies in German, she confused me a lot. I keep talking English with her but just a few phrases and then i stop because I'm not sure if i do it right Now, I feel confident again with what I have done. Are you German? Thank your for writing in and have a nice day.

I was also in the same case with you when i started teaching my daughter, but now it's no longer a problem.
I only teach my daughter when she is in the mood to see wordings, if not i stop immediately. Just teach your son very slowly, but must be in an interested and funny way (1-2 words each teaching time are totally fine, do so with patience every teaching time and give him then more and more things to learn, but 5min. per time are enough). Before teaching him, you may let him satisfied with all his playing first so that he feels happy and is in the good mood. I have learnt this tip from Brillkids Team and a friend and applied it to my daughter. Luckily, it's worked very well and i do hope it also works with you and your son too.
Be patient and happy teaching.
Regards,
Cam

EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / my baby mixed up German & English, does anyone have advices?

Hi everybody,
I seek for your advices and experiences. Please help.
My 2,5+ year-old daughter is the mixed baby of German and Vietnamese. I always talk Vietnamese with her and her dad and other people do German. She hasn't ever mixed up Vietnamese and German when talking with us.
We've started Little Reader for around 2 months. My baby is interested in learning this and gain lots of words. At the beginning, when showing her the words, I also explained her the meaning in Vietnamese. Recently, I've started talking English to her. I've asked her a few questions but she's answered me in German. This problem doesn't happen when I speak Vietnamese, but English.
German & English are prettey similar, even the pronounciation and writing. For example: i pointed to a cat and asked 'what is that' (in German it is 'was ist das', sound very similar), instead of answering me 'cat', she said 'katze' which means 'cat', and then started talking German to me.
I don't know yet what to do in this case, so i seek for your help, guys. has anyone experienced such a problem and and solved it out? Please advise me.
Thanks & have a nice day.
Cam
