Lenguej

Hi everybody, this is Amelie here...

I've been mening to write about something, I think they call it "lenguej". This is so messy! I have to admit that I am very confuzed, haven't been able to utter a single woord in a consistent way even tho I am almost one year old! By now I shoudl know at least "papa" and "mama", but I still haven't cracked that ones.

The problem, I think, is that wheel al my friends have ben practicing their Ingrish, my parents came up with a brilant idea of teaching me 3 languages at the same time! Well, they have been trying Portugues (dada) and Frensh (mama) on me, and people at day care try this thing people call Ingrish (it's prety simpl minded language, actualee).

I have to say that if I were to invent lenguej I would have done it quit diferently. If you ask me, they relly come up with an absurd seestem. The right thing to do would have been to create something that has a one-to-one mapeeng (one woord, one meaning), but some jenius tought that one-to-many or many-to-one was not enough and though that they should to do it many-to-many, how propestorous!

I herd my mom teling my dad of kids that taken 3 years to master this thing. I sure hope it doesn't taken that long with me, I have so much totel my parents. They're nice an all, but they get more than alf of what I want wronged (and this is after one year!).

This is geting too longe, I'll live to another time to tel my ideas about lenguej, how people should be using some formal gremmar like they've worked out in computer cience... I come up with a few models, acteuly.

I'm going to sleep now, boa noite!

Amelie, je t'envie...3 langues! C'est un peu difficile au début mais quelle richesse. Nous pensons fort à toi. Notre Noé essaie à 4 ans d'apprendre le danois... c'est impressionnant de voir à quel point ça va vite.
Dors bien...

Amelie:

What a lucky girl you are to grow up trilingual. Just remember--the word for "NO" is about the same in all three languages--you'll soon be a master at that one!
