Frenchguy was again in turmoil. He was with 2 french couples and the subject of conversation was focused on how to teach a child two languages at a very young age. 5 french people who learned but french at home and school, who had collections of VHS of disney movies in french, who watched everything on TV in french, who listened to the radio in french… of course, the topic was quite disturbing. Too big a deal.

My conversation with my 8-month old doesn’t really progress. First, because I don’t even know if she understands me, second, because I don’t understand the response that I get. Here’s one of our one-on-one conversation.

Me: Repeat after me, Louna. I – LOVE – YOU.
Louna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (high-pitched, of course).
Me: No Louna. Let’s do it again. I – LOVE – YOU.
Louna: BOOOOOOOOO! (with a mischievous smile).
Me: I – LOVE – YOU.
Louna: KKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (with e pronounced in french).
Me: Naman si Louna e. Serious na. I – LOVE – YOU.
Louna: Pft.

End of conversation.

Optimistic me thinks I’m on the right track.
