I also use Spanish/English apps on my phone to help my daughter learn new languages. I’ve also started letting her lead her learning. She points to objects says “what’s dat?” and I respond with the name in English or Spanish.

We had a wonderful Colombian born bilingual expert help us early on ( as we are mononlinguals raising a fluent as a native trilingual/triliterate kiddo in Spanish/Mandarin/English) and she told me how she still did that with her high school kids.

They were raised in Columbia and USA, so were fluent in both languages, but she daily helped them with the terms that they learned in school in English, so they would know them in Spanish as well.

Now that our child is fluent in Spanish, ( She is 11) we still return to Spain every year as that helps with these kind of issues.

Good luck..sounds like you are doing a fabulous job and also remember not all kids ask a lot of questions and that is okay too. Despite being raised as a triliterate from birth, my child didn’t have any language delays, but she also was not one big on questions. I know a brilliant monolingual surgeon who didn’t say a word until he was 5.

Everyone has their perfect path.
