Now here are some random interesting features of her language knowledge:
English:
- she knows all the main colours (in both languages)
- loves saying 3 (or more) -syllable words (aubergine, apricot, butterfly)
- started to say combination of words (green peas, red rose, purple plum, yellow balloon)
- she says what she really wants in both languages (more-még, drink-inni, bread-kenyér etc.)
- her functional language is outstanding - she says thank you, Mommy - when she gives something back to me or when I give her something, here you are (not clearly though - it sounds like: heeyaa), please - when she asks for something, don't like it - if she doesn't want to eat something
- sometimes she sounds like saying a sentence that she doesn't do in Hungarian (it's incomprehensible, though)
- when she points at a spider she says: incywincy
- potty time is mostly in English so she rather says poopy and peepee
- prefers songs in English
Favourite songs now: Butterfly colour song
Balloon song:
But she also takes pleasure in Great Day for Up! by Dr. Seuss and Goodnight, Spot by Eric Hill nowadays.
Hungarian:
- she is trying to say long words (more than 4 syllables) - palacsinta
- prefers the countries in this language (her favoutite one to say is Svájc, and her favourite flag is the Belgian - because of the black in it -, though she cannot pronounce it clearly)
- when she sees the Turkish flag she starts to chant: pont, pont vesszőcske, készen van a fejecske, kicsi nyaka, nagy a hasa, készen van a TÖRÖK basa - her utterence is 50% right, but the intonation is perfect
- prefers rhymes in Hungarian (Boci, boci tarka, A török és a tehenek)
- she says tetszik if she likes something or someone (doesn't say it in English)
Some cute details:
- her favourite animal is the penguin at the moment
- out of nowhere she calls out her native nanny's name
- her favourite colour is black, though when I ask her she says pink or purple
- her favourite body part is her belly button (when she has a look at her own, she makes us show ours)
- her favourite flower is carnation
- she claps after pooping
- she loves drawing (onto the parquet, at the playground, on sheets of paper, on the door - but not on the wall yet)
- she pronounces Peppa Pig as if she were a little native British girl :)
