For her 6th birthday party (advanced due to the early start of the school holidays), my daughter invited six classmates – representing a stunning seven nationalities. I was prepared for that, witness the cake: What I was not prepared for was the guests singing Happy Birthday in not two,  not three, but four languages, thanks […]

A presentation

April 5th, 2016

Three years ago, almost to the day, I shared a video of my daughter making a speech on the steps of the high school near our house. For some reason, every time we came home from the park, she’d stop there, go up the steps, and hold a speech. That day, I had the camera […]

Summer holidays are full of fun and an occasion to try out new things. When on the third day in our German holiday resort, the kids in the surrounding holiday homes were outside playing after supper, our 5-year-old decided she wanted to join them on skates. (She’d only skated once so far.) So that’s what […]

Counting

October 7th, 2013

The other day, my daughter got this beautiful poster with the numbers from 1 to 20. Ever since we put it up on her door, she’s loved to compare the objects and, of course, count them. On Thursday, we managed to film her:

Comme ça

April 3rd, 2013

Entre la maison et le square, il y a un lycée avec un beau portail. Pour des raisons que j’ignore, ma fille adore monter les trois marches, se positionner, et tenir un discours. L’autre jour, j’avais pris l’appareil photo pour aller au square, et j’en ai profité au retour pour capter son ou plutôt ses […]

Platt för Quiddjes

November 8th, 2011

An dieser Stelle möchte ich mal eine etwas andere Buchempfehlung machen: “Lüttjet Platt – Mein erstes Platt-Buch” von Valeska Scholz ist ein ganz herrliches Kartonbilderbuch mit den ersten unumgänglichen Wörtern, die jeder plattschnackende Schietbüdel kennen sollte. Plattdüütsch ist schließlich eine ganz eigene Sprache (und genausogut wie ein Jodeldiplom ;-))

In the TED talks series, here is one on language acquisition that shows some quite fascinating findings. Watch it here.
