bilingual kid

i thought i'll be raising a bilingual kid. i used to think he'll be having english as his primary language.

but im wrong.

well, initially, we spoke to him in english. the first words he knew were english. but after i had a yaya and got back to work, he kind of switched to having tagalog as his primary language.

the things he usually say in english are now being said in tagalog. rain is now ulan. water is now tubig. light is now ilaw.. and a whole lot more.

sometimes he's taglish but more often, he speaks in tagalog.

have no problem with that. i'm just worried that it might affect his confidence while interacting with english speaking kids / adults.

i have witnessed a few times when he wasn't able to answer some questions because he doesn't seem to understand it because it was asked in english.

hmmm...


just then, aquim said, awesome!


we can still do it! hehehehe
