I ermm, We always been dreaming our kids to be multi lingual.. not just basic Bahasa n English, but more if possible.. Mrs loves European languages; French, Spanish, Italian etc while I like Oriental; Mandarin, Japanese etc..
We don’t want to push him though cause afraid he might be confused. However at the age of 4+, I think Jr can already differentiate which is which.. His Kindie is English based, Bahasa and Mandarin classes also available..
Last night, after went back from Mama’s, it was still early for lights off.. so we allowed 30 minutes TV for the kids.. as I was flipping the channel from Nayla’s favourite 556 to Faeq’s fave 616; Faeq stopped me at 611.. Ultraman Gaia was on..
Not that I don’t like the channel, but I think the translation is a bit dodgy.. so I changed the audio language.. but there’s only Japanese.. kewl, i thought..
Few secs later Faeq stood up, he turned up the TV volume.. tried to catch what was the character saying..
Then he asked me..
Faeq : Why it is different? Just now it was bahasa?
Daddy : Oh, this is Japanese.. you like the language?
Faeq : Yeah I like
Daddy : Later we can send you to Japanese class.. Or probably we can ask Uncle Kadir or Uncle Nizar to teach you.. They can speak Japanese.. You know both of them, right?
Faeq : Yeah.. but I think I want Uncle Ultraman…
Isk isk isk.. Mana aku nak carik uncle ultraman nih..

Daddy, it means more Japanese episodes.
Though i wish he can already read, thus there will be some subtitles, so he could grasp some keywords etc.
bang bobo pegi jepun carila…
