Joyeux Anniversaire!
My youngest daughter Eden just turned 1! And I'm still trying to speak French to her. I’m calling it The Experiment since it will be interesting to see how Eden’s experience with more consistent French earlier compares to her older sister Jubilee’s (almost 4 yrs old).
After just a couple imperfect weeks of speaking mostly French I’m already seeing a difference in Jubilee! Often she will echo back to me what I said to her. And because she is still speaking to me in English and I reply in French she usually understands because there is an immediate shared context. And I’m no longer afraid of “not doing it right” if I need to further explain something in English too. So for me that is a win!
