She only knows chat (cat) and chien (dog) from Little Pim’s flashcards and she also knows ours (bear) from a particular book we’ve been reading which I promise to write about very soon. Anyhow, to make sure she’d able to play without getting frustrated about not knowing the answer, I lined up a bunch of different colored blocks she has in the tub which go along with a bateau (boat) – she knows this word very well because she learned it during French summer camp.

I’ve been following your posts for a while now and you write about a subject that has been very important to me even before I thought of having kids. Im a trilingual myself (Spanish, English and French) and always had in mind I would teach my kids English and French since Spanish is our first language because we live in Puerto Rico. We use ASL so she can communicate even thou she doesn’t talk yet. My daughter is 10months old and I read to her in the 3 languages but I would love to learn more on how to teach her all of this even at her short age. I’ve been learning a few things from your blog but I would like to get more info on where to start.
Thanks!!!

She was incredibly enthused and I was very proud of everything she learned: counting to [...]

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:39:36 +0000 http://www.spanglishbaby.com/?p=8836#comment-9502 I’m so happy to see through your comments here and in our Facebook page that we’re not alone in our trilingual journey! I can’t wait to update you on what’s going on! My daughter is totally into it and just recently, I found her teaching her father how to count in French. She now knows how to count to SIX!

I will most definitely be writing more about our experiences as well as share whatever I find in terms of products – besides Little Pim – to help us in our journey. My daughter’s summer camp French teacher promised to send me some info to help us start building our library and such, as soon as I have that, I’ll share it!

French is my 3rd language as well and I’ve been wondering if there’s a way of doing a camp in France for both her and me…We just got back from France,and got our daughter some books on France, and it’s all she talks about!

If you know of any places for camps overseas, please let me know! and also, like Adriana said, it would be great to hear of the resources you use to continue her on the language.

My daughter is almost 4 and fully bilingual (spanish/english). She;s convinced she can speak french too :) so ibetter get her started.
