Observation raising 2yo bilingual: she now prefers speaking Chinese at home. Probably due to language simplicity

This is most evident in the way counting works. If you’ve ever seen a young kid struggle saying “eleven, twelve, thirteen” you will understand. Fascinating to see it pivot in this direction though

Interesting! Our 2yo seems super balanced and basically separate between adults. I don't think he's chosen based on any sort of language difficulty yet.

We do German and English at home with my 4 1/2yo. German is fluent of course and we live in Germany. With English she understands everything I say to her, but rarely talks back in English. Hopefully this Weill change as we a looking at a bilingual school when she is 6.

Good guess about language simplicity - the same thing often happens within the same spoken language

As in we choose “I gotta go” over “I got to go” in fast-paced oral speech 

Not sure what the correct term is but should ve something across the lines of “the law of saving speech efforts”

I think in the US, my obvious choice is to speak as much Chinese as possible. Daycare and school she will get so much exposure to English. Early days it’s just about picking what language primitive you want your kid learning for different words and then introducing the idea later that two different words can have the same meaning

I have 16m old cannot speak just jibberish and mama dada seems to comprehend 3 languages at home but was thinking teach later so he can speak faster now ty for insight 16 $degen
