Who is actually confused?
In this video we talk about some myths about bilingualism, in particular the myth that children must be confused if learning more than one language. What we have found is it’s actually us as parents who get the most confused. As an English speaking Australian I have experience with English toddler talk, but Hugh, as a Korean, doesn’t have much experience hearing little children talk. So some things our son Yul says in English make no sense to Hugh, but to me I know it’s just a little kid way of saying something. And it goes the opposite way as well, some Korean things Yul says I either don’t understand or takes me a few moments to realise what he is saying.
We talk about much more in the video as well so please check it out! I hope it’s helpful for other parents in a similar situation as us.
