Bilingual

After spending four months in the daycare, April showed a little bit sign of bilingual. Right now, she speaks mainly Chinese mixed with some English words at home. Like, she would say "要milk", which translates "want milk", or "怕big bad wolf", meaning "afraid of big bad wolf".

The thing even amazing is that when we are teaching her Chinese characters at home she will translate some to English. Like today, when we showed her this character "兔"(pronounced like /too/), she immediately said "Rabbit" in English.

I guess she must relate the Chinese character and "Rabbit" to the real rabbit, and through the real rabbit, Chinese is connected with English and translation happens instantly.

Amazing.
