Just like to his brothers, we speak to him English as his main language. But then he is exposed to his yee-pho speaking Cantonese to him, and unlike his brothers, he picked up Cantonese fast.
At his current age, he can even hold a decent conversation with Yee-pho in Cantonese! :)
As I know he has a knack for languages, I just added on simple things for him to learn.
Just like teaching him to count while we walk up the stairs in our house.
Of course I started off with English, and then I slowly taught him in Cantonese, then Malay and then Mandarin.
Below is a short clip of him reciting the numbers 1-10 in 4 Languages - English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin & in Cantonese.
And as I said he is quite good in Cantonese, he can even recite a simple Kiddy Cantonese Rhyme that Yee-pho taught him, although not perfectly. My pho-pho taught me this too when I was a little girl and so I am really pleased Yiu-Vern knows this now. :)
Sometimes really cannot tahan this little monster baby.
He is at an age where he can be really whiny and his crying is like a shouting match all by himself!
But then looking at these 2 videos, he is really cute and super lovable! #biasedmum
Ok, now to teach him 1-10 in hokkien, and to endure another 1 year for the Terrible Two to be over! :)
