The boy who didn't speak until he was 3+ is now............

....learning German!!!!

There I was listening to ds2 (2.4yrs) counting his jumps as he bounced on the trampoline when another little voice started to join in - in German! It was only last month that the SALT had told me that although ds1 would still stay on the SALT list for social skills help he no longer needed any input wrt language as he had made so much progress since starting school in September.

I'm pretty sure that ds1's teacher has been too busy with the usual Reception class work to be teaching foreign languages so I'm not sure where the German has come from tbh - unless it was one of the TAs?

Meanwhile ds2 is slowly turning into ds1 and is now reading numbers and a couple of words. This household seems to be getting stranger by the day.

wow, ct! What cool kids you have.

Bless him!

mine learnt spanish off Dora the explorer...but i'm not aware of any german kids programmes...so yours must have got that from school???

(unless ofcourse you are counting in your sleep in german!!!....U multi-talented thing -you!!!!

What a clever little lad

Blimey!

LOL MrsF! Definitely no counting in my sleep. I did GCSE German years ago when I was at school but that's about it.

It was just so unexpected. Poor ds2 almost got showered by a mouthful of coffee.

aww bless

Wow

Impressive!!

Amazing

Wow - that's fantastic

Yes it is amazing, I was too hungover earlier to post anything sensible.

Bless him Coppertop, how cute. That is FAB news about the SALT, fantastic.

a kids channel we have here - Nickjnr - think you get it there often counts in ENglish and then in another language - using a variety of languages...

and that is FAB!!

hehe
