Yes, another post about language learning...
As I sit here thinking about how slow I am learning the language, Veta helped put things in perspective. The poor girl is constantly getting told to go somewhere, do something, stop doing another thing, and she has no idea what's going on. She's just trying to pick things up from pointing, voice intonation, and body language. Pretty much like what were doing!
So, maybe I'm not as slow as I think. After all, children listen for 2-3 years before they start speaking...and it's years later until their vocabulary allows them to speak well. Is this a cop-out that I am thinking this way? :)
Our whole family is in this language learning thing together!
