Well, let me rephrase the title. At 19 months, my little girl can speak three (yes, that specific) English words. I am teaching her little by little so she wouldn’t had a hard time (unlike her Kuya) mingling with her classmates when she enters preschool.
SHUSH (shoes). That’s her first word. Bad mom, I can’t remember when did she first utter that word. She has a special bond with her shoes, always love to wear them. You can hear her repeatedly say the word most especially if she wants to go out of the house. And if we were inside the mall, she would frantically say shus whenever she sees one.
NO MO (no more). I find difficulty teaching this to her as she always say nana (Tagalog word for no more) whenever she has consume the last drop of her milk. She also says nana if she has finally swallowed the food we gave her. I have to say no more everytime she says nana so she would understand that no more and nana is the same.
TATER (water). Last but not the least word for her vocabulary. She has learned to love drinking water in a glass and always asks for it by saying mamam (Tagalog baby talk for water). This is a little hard for her to say so it’s always mamam then I would correct her and say water not until I did something which made her say that word. I was eating lunch alone when she was asking for mamam and I purposely ignore her then she says tater. Nice one baby!
I just have to constantly remind my caretakers (my mom and my aunt) to keep on correcting for those three words until she’s comfortable enough to say it.
