Speaking English with a baby Hello! This is my first entry. As it is said in my profile I have a baby daughter and I try to speak in English with her several days a week. She is 20 months now and says about 20-25 words in Russian. I started our "English lessons" 2 months ago, figuring that she was too small to refuse listening me speaking a foreing language which she did not understand, but at the same time she was old enough to grasp the information. At first, naturally, she didn't understand a word. To my great suprise, today, when I asked her to serve tea to a teddy bear, she actually did what was asked! I think this is our small victory! :-) It is very pleasant to see how seeds that you plant, start blossoming. The only stumbling block now for our English exercizes is that I don't have any story books in English for small children. My daughter likes me reading stories for her very much. And in our "English days" I have to switch to Russian to read the stories and poems for her. I'm going to order some English storybooks for her, but I'm not an expert... If you can advise me some children's books with poems and short stories, it would help! Thanks!
