Im elated to watch my child speak in Bengali... his Bengali friend from Germany couldnt converse in English and he could reply back in German... It was amazing to watch them speak for the past two days only in his mother-tongue Bengali... Im so happy! :-)
Im convinced, once in India, he would be able to pick up good Hindi, Kannada/Tamil or Malayalam very soon... :-)
Speak only in mother tongue to children!
- esp for my friends who have dual lang at home in a non-English / totally English speaking countries! Read it!
Living in linguistic entropy - Bangalore Mirror - Lakshmi Srinivasan explores the good, the bad, and mostly absurd side of new india
in today's India/Indians, with cross-state marriages and settling in another state state, it really has become as tough as settling in a foreign country... wrt languages for children to speak.. Anyways, Ive decided to conc on Bengali & Malayalam for the time being... He should start thinking in Bengali rather than in English... :-( not happy with myself...
