We are teaching our almost 3 yr old son English, German and Thai, so this is very interesting to me as I haven't really ventured out to connect with other multilingual families. It's a whole new world out here!<br />Many greetings from Florida,<br />PhanitConsiderations https://www.blogger.com/profile/18316927843763686988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978090451269783136.post-26238739620945427082012-06-28T15:59:48.754+02:002012-06-28T15:59:48.754+02:00Sarah...

I guess I was more talking about meta-language awareness (awareness about the language - knowing that what Maman speaks is one language and what Papa speaks is another called Portuguese). <br />Language differentiation appears from 2 years old according to research. From around 2-3 years old, bilinguals are able to accommodate their interlocutors by using more of the words that person knows.Annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307996916856027630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978090451269783136.post-81301994263554145352012-06-28T00:57:25.098+02:002012-06-28T00:57:25.098+02:00Just wait till she's four--she'll be able ...Just wait till she's four--she'll be able to do all sorts of activities in English on the iPad!<br /><br />I love your story of the "monsieur qui parle comme maman."<br /><br />Can you explain further your comment about language awareness not developing until around ages 3-4? I feel sure that by three Griffin could identify who spoke English and who spoke French to him, even bringing books in French to me and English ones to my husband. It sounds like your daughter has already figured it out, too!Sarah @ Baby Bilingualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907207816628137938noreply@blogger.com
