In todays video I want to show you how we speak 4 languages to our children and how well they are learning the four languages.
So we have two children. The older one is called Benjamin and he is 3 years and 6months old. The younger one is called Luca and he is 1 year 11 months old.
Our children are learning German, English, Spanish and Swahili (that is the local language spoken in Kenya and other parts of East Africa).
How we do this on a daily basis is to speak consistently in our native language to our children. I speak German to my children everyday, 24 7 a day
My husband speaks Spanish to our children
We have a helper/nanny who also speaks Swhaili to our children consistently
And the local community language here in Kenya is English and also Swahili, so they are automatically exposed to English and that is also the language they choose to communicate in predominantly .
I just want to clarify that we do any other language teaching with our children except speaking with them consistently on a daily basis. Children are in a sensitive period for learning languages when they are between the ages 06 years old.
This means that when you expose a child to a language consistently by speaking to them they will absorb that language without effort on their part. They will soak up the language like a sponge and over the years they will become fluent in that language if you are consistent and you keep exposing them.
So in this video you will see how we speak with our children and introduce them to our languages. You will also notice that our children speak mainly in English and that has been their choice of language to speak in I believe this is because that is the community language here in Kenya however, they understand all 4 languages completely and they do use words from the other three languages mixed in with their English sometimes.
Enjoy the video.
