Tonight we were trying to figure out if Luca knew the difference between Chinese and English, and that two languages exist. So Mama asked him, “How do you say ‘big’ in Chinese?” After some encouragement, he correctly answered, “Da!”. Then Baba asked in Chinese, “How do you say it in English?” and right away he said, “Big!”. Then Mama asked: “Who speaks Chinese to you?”
Luca: “Dai (Kai), Ayi, Baba!”
Mama: “Who speaks English to you?”
Luca: “OMama!”
Luca, you are so clever! Do you know how to say “Chinese” in Chinese?–Your Mama and Baba have taught you so much already!–With Chinese and English, just think of all the people in the world you can talk with! Amazing!–Soon you will be two! love, Ani
To us uninitiated, that is amazing! But then it is also no surprise, Luca! Are you ready to learn to count in Hindi? Ek do tin…
Much love, Grampy
Luca- Omama loves to speak English to you but she wishes that you would speak back to her (language of your choice) !!!
