Me (on the phone with my niece who is four and a half) - Hi Aishu! Your mom says you have picked up some Spanish from your Dora DVDs??
Aish - Yes!
Me - That's great! Can you count from 1 to 10?
So Aish counts to 10 in Spanish. I don't know if it's correct but it sure sounds impressive.
The next day...
Aish - Mausi!!
Me - Yes, baby!
Aish - Yi, er, san!
Whoa. Did she just say 1-2-3 in Chinese???? I can hear my sister laughing in the background.
Me - Wow, Aishu!!! Now you're learning Chinese!!!! Can you count to 10?
Aish - I can count to 3. Yi, er, san!
Me - Okay, let me teach you how to count to 5, ok? Yi, er, san, si, wu!
Aish - Yi, er, san, si, wu!
Me - Very good! If you remember this tomorrow, I'll teach you how to count till 10, ok?
The next day...
Aish - Mausi... Yi, er, san...
Me - What's next?
Aish - Hmmm...
Me - Si, wu!
Aish - Yi, er, san, wu, si!
Me - Uh oh! It's yi, er, san, si, wu!
Aish - Yi, er, san, si, wu!
Me - Very good!
Aish - And how do I count to 10?
Me - Try and remember 1 to 5 first, and then I'll teach you how to count to 10. Ok?
Aish - Hmm... why don't you just email it to me?
Me - !!
