As I mentioned before, Martin
really fears the moment his son will speak to him in German. The good thing is,
we are past the denial phase. I think Martin knows, even if he would not admit
it, that one day not too far away his son is going to tell him things he will
not be able to understand. However, this does not prevent Martin to do
everything he possibly can to delay this moment. And everything he possibly can
is "Czech for babies".
Every day from
seven to eight in the evening, Martin teaches Daniel the animals, the body and
recently shapes and colors.
-Zajicek,
zajiiiicek, kde je zajiiiiicek? - Repeats Martin one hundred times - and my
baby (the cleverest baby in the whole world) points the bunny.
Honestly, at the beginning
I didn't have much hope in the system. However the results have proven me
wrong. In a few days we went from the bunny to the crocodile and the giraffe,
from the jungle back to the farm with the cow and the pig and explore other
areas like the eyes, nose, shoes, belly bottom and even the corn! Impressive.
Daniel's only words are still agua and autooo, but I don't doubt he could order
in a Chinese restaurant just by pointing at the menu.
Given the success,
this week we decided to do an experiment. Would Daniel be able to understand
the same words in Spanish? Well, yes, it turns out that without any need of
further lessons, Daniel is able to point el conejito, and, unfortunately for
his father, also die Hase.
