Trilingual breakfast about dinner
This morning out of nowhere, with me in the kitchen prepping lunches and my husband & son at the table:
Kieran: "I eat dinner at my house" in Spanish is yo como en mi casa.
Husband, repeats after him & knows 'dinner' is missing but doesn't remember what it is, followed by muy bueno.
Me: et en français, 'Je mange le dîner à la maison'
Kieran repeats after me in segments with a fairly decent accent.
Moi: très bien!
Then they continued some stuff in basic Spanish, of which I understand next to nothing.
I got la cena for 'dinner' from the teacher's assistant, and she mentioned they're having a more comprehensive after-school Spanish session next year he might be interested in because he picks it up effortlessly & has quite a large vocabulary. He doesn't speak it all that much at home so this was news to us.
I keep thinking about how the foreign language requirements in high school & college are going to be so easy for him compared to how much I struggled picking up French as a freshman.
