Don't want Aaron to end up with as poor a command of Chinese as I have.<BR/>I'll send you an email so you can have my email add. I'd love to hear that story! Thanks!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542715899155247984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958650458175024216.post-24794214995897138512007-11-30T00:53:00.000+10:002007-11-30T00:53:00.000+10:00One of the things I studied back in the Stone Age ...One of the things I studied back in the Stone Age when I was getting my BA in Linguistics was the acquisition of language by children. As it happens, most of the research to that point had been done in English, so there wasn't much available on the influences of other languages. Aaron is at an age at which he will pick up many languages easily if he's exposed to them on a more-or-less equal basis...I gather that your home language is English, but if he's exposed to Chinese and the local Indonesian languages, he'll probably pick those up, too. Of course, much of what he'll pick up will be things you don't want him to say, but parents run that risk in any language. I have a great story about that, but it might offend some readers...if you're interested, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.
