Hi everyone ☆
I've been speak a little english to my son since he
were born. My son is 20 month old now. He often says two words "Tea,おちゃ" "Bag, かばん" But phrases I say leads up to the same thing....Now he using some phrases
"Go/up/down/(turn)on/open/close/push/come on/gone/coming/combine/take
a part/peel(an apple)/dark" I would like to use more verb and phrases in English to
him....I just wondering what kind of prases the baby started speaking who has mother of
english speaker? Then how was in japanese too? Do you have any good simple phrases you often use to your children?

FOR EXAMPLE IN JAPANESE convinience word:
they have many meanings

[ついた tsuita]
(turn)on, arrived, connected, stained, caught fire, prickled ...ETC...
[とれた toreta]
came off, got, took a part, took(photo), caught, picked, recorded,...ETC

There are lots phrasal verbs using in our daily
conversation, e.g.: eat/ drink up, turn on/ off/ up/
down, break up/ off, mix up, mess up, add in......
lots more.

If he tends to be interested in speaking some Chinese,
I speak only Chinese to him, otherwise only English.
Anyway, I seldom blend the languages together, now when
he doesn't know a particular word in Chinese, he will
ask:"How to say it in Chinese"?

Before my boy was 3, he always mixed up "me" with "you",
"myself" with "yourself", pronouns sound a bit tricky
for children I guess. In Japanese, when adults are
talking to children, they seldom use pronouns, right?

HI!Joanna☆Thanks for message!
Will you teach me about "Break up/off"? How's situation do you often use it? I looked up 英辞郎 in dictionary, wow many meanings! http://www2.alc.co.jp/ejr/index.php?word_in=break+up&word_in2=%82%A9%82%AB%82%AD%82%AF%82%B1&word_in3=PVawEWi72JXCKoa0Je

My boy mix up words now, I guess that because my mother and roommate try use in english just SOMETIMES....(._.;)So I have to keep correct them...

Togi(my boy)「Open!!」
Roommate「これは Open できないよ」
Me「It will not open.」

If I would say them "Please stop mixed up words", other mothers and people who meet at outside will try to speak in English to him.(._.+) Bottom line...I'm glad that he speak any languages but when he use in Japanese, I answer in Japanese first, and after that I say repeart in English. I always answer him English/Japanese/English,
but it will make VERY BUSY conversation to me...LOL

English sentense have always the subject.
Joanna as like say "me""you"too, so he seems like in a little puzzled to use "you""I""me" but he understanding "mine""yours". We don't have to use the subject in Japanese, so I think it's easy to understand to use "verb" for baby. When do you use in Chinese? How much time to use in Chinese with your boy?



My boy likes to collect twigs everytime when we go to
the park, and he enjoys breaking them off. Sometimes
he did hurt himself, so I often tell him:"Don't break
it off, pls"

We both like to play with blocks, everytime when I've
built up something, he likes to break it up. So, after
I've done my "masterpiece", I always ask him not to
break it up, or I will feel so upset. Besides, we
often use "break up" in a relationship which no more
exists, like: I just broke up with my boyfriend.

It depends, but most of the time when my husband and
I are having a conversation (we talk in Chinese). Or
when he asks me to read him a Chinese bedtime story.
He can understand Chinese but not very willing to speak
it, maybe he knows that it's a minority language here in
Japan, Chinese speakers sound so unique around where we
live.
I see. Sorry, one more question, may I?
How about what is different "Break off" and "Break up"?

Yes I know this. >>break up" in a relationship which no more exists,

Well, your boy can understand many language, doesn't he?? Malaysian, Chinese,English, Japanese too??
すごい!...I could look inside his head(^o^)
There's only a slight difference I guess. Break sth
off = use some force or strain to separate sth from sth
: Like my boy likes to break the twigs off the trees
Break sth up = cut, strike, separate sth into small
pieces: He likes to break up his toy car into small
parts and fix it back later.
I'm sorry if I haven't made an explicit explanation.

I'm afraid that he doesn't understand Malay, it's really
a minority language even in the world, I will teach him
if he seems interested in it, but so far I don't think
soウインク
Actually I wanted to study Spanish but I think that my boy needs to know English for his future. And I'll do my best that I make good situation in our daily life because it's hard to study after he grouwnup....As like meあっかんべー

Thank you so much for answer to my many questions!
