iranian/half iranian babies

[purplebee]

Hello! I'm an Iranian mum married to an English guy and really wants my 11month old ds to grow up speaking Farsi. I talk to him in Farsi as much as I can, but he spends a great deal of time with my mil and dh as I work full time. Anyone know of where I can get hold of Farsi baby books or nursary rhyme tapes (I don't know any Farsi songs!) Would love to meet other new mum's who are Iranian/partners of Iranians who are trying to raise a bilingual child.

Hi, I have a friend who is Iranian married to an English guy, same as you. She lives in Crawley/Three Bridges. where are you?

I'm in London. A bit far as I don't drive

Try the Iranian shops in Temple Fortune - not sure of the street name but it's the one with jojomamanbebe on it. Can't you get some relatives to send over some books? Oh - get a dish that can receive the Iranian chanels from the US, I am sure there are kids programmes on there.

Oooh! Am not Iranian and my DH is Arab but am crazy about Iranian culture so had to pop in and say hello!!!

Also have the same issues with getting DS to speak Arabic - am learning Arabic at the moment but its going slow and DH talks to DS in English all the time

hey purplebee I am in the same boat as you ! How are things going and what books etc are you using...
