How do children in multilingual households differentiate between the two (or more) languages they’re being taught?
In: Other
Our kid distinguished the two languages we speak at home pretty well (English and Spanish), but sometimes would invent a word in English (Spanish is their first language) that was an anglicization of a Spanish word. It was pretty adorable honestly. A few examples are “colch” for blanket (colcha in Spanish), “stooch” for case (estuche), and “spuma” for foam. All spoken with a perfect American accent.
