Now I know my ABCs...

Mak has mastered the ABCs (toddler style). She can recognize all the letters and pronounce them well enough so you know what she's trying to say. Whenever she sees letters, she'd start reading them and singing The ABC song.

She also associates letters with words. A apple...W walrus...Z zebra...Between the alphabet puzzle, YouTube videos and kumon flash cards (which she still thinks are fun) she's picked up a lot of new words lately.

She's also starting to put words together and make short sentences like...

"More yok yok (meat), no rice"
"Play food"
"two bears"

These last couple of days, she said several Chinese words that I was surprised she knew...

Choh - sit
Toh jue - hold hands
Cheui - take off (clothes for bath)

Mak also picked up some Cantonese intonations at the end of verbs like...

wahn AH - let's play
bao LA - I'm full
po AH - pick me up

It's amazon how fast the little brain is learning and absorbing every day!
