How to teach a toddler a second (foreign) language? She said she's teaching her child Russian, (and successfully) so this isn't like she's denying her child a native tongue. |

Songs for teaching hindi/kannada phonics? Hmm, maybe a Kannada specific social forum would help? |

Does teaching your child sign language improve his emotional health? I read the lit about baby sign language (50 words, some non-ASL simplifications, english word order if any word order). My fiance & I've enrolled in Gallaudet's adult ASL class and are learning ASL vocab (at the moment 500-1000 words, ASL word order and facial expression grammatical markers). Like any language learners, our ASL production is heavily influenced by our mother tongues & vastly simplified compared to fluent ASL. Our teacher has given us tips, for example, babies in ASL homes tend to use so called "unmarked ASL" which simplifies hand shapes, omits fingerspell, etc. |
