Grandfather – 爺爺 yé ye, 外公 wài gōng

Grandparents Day is coming up soon, September 13th this year to be exact.  Let’s make sure that we all know how to say Grandfather properly. 

爺爺 yé ye is for the paternal grandfather, while 外公 wài gōng is for the maternal grandmother.  Don’t forget to make sure your kids say it with a kiss, they will love it.  We all need to stock up on those free babysitting vouchers.

When we were in Montreal this summer, the TV choices were pretty limited due to the many French speaking channels for the kids.  On our last day while we were packing, I really needed something to keep them occupied, and I turned to the TV for half an hour of  babysitting.  I was having a really hard time trying to find them something to watch, then all of a sudden, Go Diego Go was on, but in French.  I thought this is going to be a big problem, but no, the kids just tuned in and watched the whole Diego show in French!!!!

Amazed!  Once again, our points proven.  When you show something the kids enjoy on TV, they will watch it in any language.  It’s really great to use this as one of the tools to introduce a language to the kids.

We have a large selection of DVD with characters that children are already familiar with, just to name a few: Dora, Disney Classic cartoon, Little People, and Discovery shows.
