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

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
