Native Baby
Is it a disadvantege to speak my native tongue to baby?
I mean I don’t want her to feel like nobody understands her, when she start kinder. Also I keep worrying how she may say to the others that she is hungry, thristy or whatever , when she start to go to a child care.
I would like her to learn the native tongue, but would not want her to be isolated. If you have faced the same problem, or had the same worries please share your experience with me.
Thanks heaps.
Honestly, it would be a severe disadvantage if you speak english to her – it is best she learns each language from native speakers so that she will be fluent and speak it correctly. Speak to your daughter in your own language and let kindergarten do the same. Kids learn so fast – my son was fluently bilingual in less than 6 months of school.
Oh and the other important thing if this is a very young child is consistency. ONE language per situation/person. Children can easily grasp that with mum they speak one language, daddy speaks another, at daycare they speak another. DO NOT switch between!!!! This would confuse the child. The problems come when trying to mix them up, thinking you are doing them a favour. Little children can;t understand that one word you say is in one language and another word you say is a different language so if you do this you will create a child that tries to speak sentences in a mix of languages. I have seen this over and over again and it is a shame for the poor child. It also means of course that their verbal ability in both languages is very far behind where it should be. This is frustrating for the child, who cannot express himself, and means he/she will struggle at school.
If you are going to raise a bilingual child please do it properly. There is a right and a wrong way. Mixing languages is a definite wrong way, as is speaking to your child in a language that is foreign to you!
