The German Sesame Street opening song hasn’t changed since I watched it, even though the opening sequence has. It was the first thing that jumped to mind in connection with what I noticed a few days ago:

When my daughter speaks German, she will systematically use French articles. Mostly “la”, actually, but I haven’t made statistics. Which makes for sentences such as

“Ich bin à la Wohnzimmer!” (I am in la living room.)

Are German declinations so difficult she keeps them for last?
Also, it makes me wonder about her results in that research experiment we participated in that dealt specifically with articles and was not geared to bilinguals.
