1. Expose your child to your mother tongue, may it be Bicolano, Waray, Ilonggo, Cebuano, Tagalog, etc. Language is an important facet of your culture. Kahit hindi masyadong makapagsalita ang anak mo ng native tongue na ginagamit sa bahay, by exposure, it will eventually become a part of him/her.
Ang Ingles naman kasi, by virtue of you living here in Thailand, makukuha at makukuha din niya yan. After all, kung iisipin natin, nakapagsalita nga tayo ng Ingles ng dahil lang sa exposure sa school, di ba?
Your language is an important anchor of your child, which wil eventually help a lot in molding his/her identity. Kaya kahit minsan, inconvenient, dahil mas magkakaintindihan kayo sa Ingles, I encourage you to keep at it.
One funny incident that happened with our 7-year-old girl, in an elevator - She was speaking to some people in the elevator in English, but when somebody stepped on her foot by accident, she let out a very distinct, "ARAGAY!" Haha! Lumabas ang pagka-ilongga!
Your contribution please.
