kakatuwa naman mga experience nyo...

yung panganay namin tagalog kung kausapin ng mga lolo at lola (in laws ko)...since halos sa kanila lumaki, matatas managalog ang bata...kami naman ni hubby at ng mga tita and tito, kinakausap ng english paminsan minsan...ngayon nasa school na siya madaling maki-socialize kasi nagkakaintindihan ng mga classmates...

pag may pag uusapan kami ni hubby na ayaw naman ipaalam/intindi sa bata, we talk in chinese...tapos minsan nagulat kami nakikinig ang panganay ko bigla sumabat at naintindihan pala    kaya we (hubby and i) are now in search to learn french naman

one time my nephew answered me 'mama, i cannot abot" sobrang tawa ko.. we talk to them in english.. pero yung son ko, tagalog kasi yung inlwas ko tagalog.. pero he can understand english well..

share ko lang, we have a consultant na from yaya to parents, as in english, may times na sobrang isolated daw kids niya during parties kasi they couldnt understand tagalog, but in time daw, naka-adjust na..

at least paglaki nila, they wont have problems and confident na in speaking the english language..

sis, my eldest never felt isolated during parties kahit purely english siya.  i have once read in one issue of smart parenting mag on how to prep your child before going to a party so that it would be easy for them to socialize.
share ko lang what i've learned,...
   - we arrive on the venue 30 minutes before, so that she'll feel at ease with the new surrounding
   - i mentally and psychologically prepare her on where we are going and what we are about to do there and that she ought to have fun.  i even oriented that some kids there may not be able to understand her or she may not understand them, but she still has to be friendly and enjoy the games
   - i actively take part on games myself.

when it comes to socializing, it depends on how we parents prep our kids.

i also have a funny experience with micah when she was just starting school.  she could not understand anything aside from english at that time.

we got to school early that day, so they had time to play.  her classmate asked her, "micah, habulin mo ko."  she could not understand what he was saying, but when she saw that he is running away, she ran after him.  in time, she has learned the dialect, but still speaks english.

hi guys!

i read somewhere (dito ba yun or sa magazine) that its better kung matututunan muna ng baby yung local language (tagalog or yung dialect kung nasan kayo). kasi before we want my nephew to speak straight english. di din nasunod because of his environment. wala namang nageenglish sa mga kapitbahay (nasa province kasi sila). hehe. now, marunong na ng tagalog at english ang nephew ko. sobrang talino pa niya. and im so proud of him! 

[ilovegabe]

ask ko lang sa mga mommies na english ang mode of communication with their kids, pano sila nakikipaglaro sa mga kids sa kapitbahay?
I talk to my son in english but I want him naman to enjoy playing with other kids.

my eldest since SAHM ako nun first language niya tlaga english but by the time she became 2 yrs. old i started working na, so natuto na sya ng tgalog which for me is better din naman.

now that she's in school na medyo hirap nga sya sa filipino coz the basic things and words we always say that in english. but it's ok for me, we allknow naman na madali lang filipino subjects.

i still talk to her in english and she answers back in english but if she's talking with other people she speaks tagalog...

Lana talks to her playmates in English before pero nung natuto na siya mag Tagalog she talks to them in Tagalog. Yung playmates naman niya would always approach me that they want Lana to talk to them in English kasi gusto din  nila matuto (o diba?!?). Most of her playmates na kapitbahay namin are older than her.

[mommielynne]

dito sa house everybody speaks english... pero ako i talk with my son in tagalog lalo pag galit hehe! he could understand both english and tagalog naman. pero pag magsalita sya english. kaya ngayon pure tagalog muna ako sa kanya para magtuloy-tuloy na matutunan niya yung tagalog kasi everybody here naman speaks english so hindi mawawala sa kanya yun.. pati tuloy si hubby natututo na rin ng konting tagalog. pareho ko sila tinuturuan.

At 22 months, Paolo can converse na in Filipino and English talagang sinasanay namin. Like if he wants his trains separated he will say "Detach mom please" natatawa nalang ako kasi nakakabilib kung gano siya kabilis pumick up ng words. One time nagstop over kami sa Select and there were kids running around mga anak ng nagtrtrabaho dun, Paolo was holding his thomas toy and sabi ng bata "ay si thomas" sabi ni Paolo "yes Thomas here and points to himself - "and Paupau here". sabi ng mga bata "ay nageenglish HUAAAHHHH biglang nagtakbuhan" natakot makipagusap napangiti nalang ako tapos nagbyebye pa si Paolo..Pero nung nakita ulet ng mga bata si Paolo sabi ni Paolo "Kuya! Kuya!" ayun nagkipaglaro na sa kanya habang hinihintay namin si hubby. Samin magasawa mas importante kung pano maging sociable si Pau not just the language na kaya niya gamitin, kahit di pa sila magkaintindihan minsan I can see nageenjoy siya just by being with the kids. Nakakatuwa nga kahit sounds lang naririnig mo sa mga bata nagkakaintindihan na sila hehe

mommy chat...sobrang aaliw ako kay hehe.

i converse with Yancy both in the vernacular and in english.  even my nanay do.  originally, i want Yancy to have english as her first language, but umiral pagiging Pinay ko, sabi ko, bago yung sa iba, yung atin muna.  she's very fluent in tagalog and she can already converse in english na din...kids have very good facility when it comes to languages...isa sa talagang binibigyang diin ko kay Yancy wag paghaluin yung dalawang wika sa isang pangungusap kasi mas pangit pakinggan.  English kung english at tagalog kung tagalog para mas matuto sya nga balarila ng 2 wika.
