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

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”

Makes sense to me. I notice how much more she stalls or stutters now trying to convey her thoughts in English. As much complexity there is in the written language in Chinese, it’s pretty intuitive in the spoken language
