1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: on the Fresh Show, like you're writing in our diaries,

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: except we say them a lot. We call them blogs, Paulina,

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Yes you're ready, Yes, take it away.

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, dear blog. So, as you guys know,

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: I have a baby girl, a daughter. She's three months old, Gabriella, and.

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm new here.

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: So everything's new and the newest thing that I'm trying

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: to do or at least figure out, because even though

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: she's not speaking, she's not verbal yet. We haven't said

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: anything yet except like I don't know, just noises. I'm

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: already thinking ahead of well, what languages are we going

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: to teach her?

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: Right?

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: Like, what is she going to learn? And in my

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: family and in what you know Gabriella comes from. It's

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: going to be a little complicated because obviously she's American,

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: good old miracle, So we're gonna speak English. However, when

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: I was born, I didn't speak English. Child was about

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: like two or three, so my first language was Polish

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: because that was my mom's first language.

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: She spoke to me, and that that's what I learned.

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: Then I got older, I watched TV, went to preschool,

24
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: all of that then I learned English, and then my

25
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: mom got married, the whole thing. So then I'm thinking, okay, well,

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: I also do want my daughter to speak Spanish. She's

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: like seventy five percent Hispanics, so I'm like, I would

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: like for her to speak that. The only thing is

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: I don't speak fluently at all.

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: How he does.

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: He called himself a nosabo kid. I hate that because

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: I know he speaks it. He's just lost it throughout

33
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: the years, like he spoke with his grandmother, his father, everybody, right,

34
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: they would stake Spanish to him, and throughout the years,

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: you kind of lose it and you don't use it

36
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: as much as he once did. But he he understands it.

37
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: He speaks it. Whatever his parents do, they speak to me, well,

38
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: his family would talk to me, he's in Spanish. I'll

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: reply in English because I don't feel comfortable saying something

40
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: in Spanish because I know I'm going to mess it

41
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: up real quick.

42
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: And it's a whole thing.

43
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: But I just don't know how do you teach a

44
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: child three languages?

45
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: To me, it seems really complicated.

46
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: I'm no language expert, but I've been researching it and

47
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: they're saying that that's possible.

48
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: I know kids in Europe speak three languages.

49
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: They'll speak Italian, Spanish, English, Arabic, whatever it might be, right, Like,

50
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: that's possible. I mean, my girl Shakira speaks like five languages.

51
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: The pope, the pope speaks like the seven language.

52
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: He knows a few too many words.

53
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: See not that both the other previous popes sean van

54
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: who knows what?

55
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: Three languages?

56
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: I just wondered how that works, and we may have

57
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: to get back to it. I'd love to take calls

58
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: on this, but like do you just do you just

59
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: speak to the kid from the earliest of ages in

60
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: all languages and then they sort of sorted out in

61
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: his or her head, you know, he or she would

62
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: sort it out the child. Or do you make a

63
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: conscious effort, you know, like do you say, like I'm

64
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: going to teach you English, so we're gonna speak English,

65
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: but then you're gonna go to school for this and

66
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: then like does that work as well as if you

67
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: just sort of immerse them in it? Like I guess

68
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: I've never understood because I regret, like I wish that

69
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: somebody had taught me, well, they kind of did teach

70
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: me Spanish at a young age. But I wish I

71
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: had really like taking it seriously, or that somebody had

72
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: been around me that spoke it so that I was

73
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: forced to use it at a young age. Like if

74
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: I ever had a kid, I feel like I would

75
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I would find a way for that child to learn

76
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: another language from the earliest possible stage.

77
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 3: It's so beneficial.

78
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: It's I think the younger, the younger, the better, Yeah,

79
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: to learn it a language, because now that I'm trying

80
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: to like learn more Spanish, it is so difficult at

81
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: a big age. And I think when you're a baby,

82
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: you're just You're a sponge, right. The only thing is

83
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: I and I know this is probably a stigma, but

84
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: they say that the kid gets confused then, and you

85
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like she's thinking she's speaking Spanish,

86
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: she's talking Polish, maybe English. I don't want to confuse her.

87
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: But I was told by a language. I don't know

88
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: what's the doctor or who she was. Well, she's on Instagram.

89
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: She's awesome. But she said like their kids are not

90
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: gonna get confused. Children don't get confused.

91
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: No, I think I think you just have to you

92
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 5: have to speak Polish to her and Hobby has to

93
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: speak Spanish to her and she'll pick it up.

94
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: She'll understand.

95
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: Then you explain it to them and they'll understand, and

96
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: then English will come along as well. Yeah, because English

97
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: should be like the lowest on the priority list in

98
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 5: my opinion. She's gonna learn that on TV, she's gonna

99
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 5: learn it at school, she's gonna.

100
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: Learn it with her friends. So I find to know,

101
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: like you guys cover the ones you know. Maybe I

102
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: don't know, but what the hell?

103
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you speak to her in Polish and Hobby

104
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: speaks her in Spanish, she'll pick pick both of them up.

105
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: I don't understand it.

106
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: I mean, if it works, it works. To have a

107
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: chrilingual kid would be insane.

108
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: God, oh my god.

109
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: H I hopes for her. Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.

110
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: I'm just like, yeah, I'm wondering how to go about

111
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: that exactly.

112
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to confuse her and then do I

113
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: walk around the house speaking Polish all day because then

114
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Hobby's not.

115
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: Going to understand. So it's just like a lot of

116
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 3: complicated parts to this. We'll tell Marta to only do Yeah,

117
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: she's doing.

118
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: That well because I know kids that they grew up

119
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: in an English speaking household, but then like their grandmother

120
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: spoke something else like I don't know Polish or whatever

121
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: it was, and so then they had to go to

122
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: school on the weekend, like on Saturday to learn it,

123
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: and that they resented that because it was like I

124
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, Like then I'm talking about,

125
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, being ten eleven, twelve into high school.

126
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: I got to go to this school on.

127
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: The weekend and do that. It's my day off and whatever.

128
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: So they didn't really like it was kind of like

129
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: the rest of us in school. We didn't take it

130
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: as seriously as we could have. Yeah, you know, so

131
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I feel like from the earliest age, if you just

132
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: start speaking, then it hopefully they just absorb it, or

133
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: she does in this case, I hope.

134
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: So so I feel like you should speak English to her,

135
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: your mom should speak Polish to her, and then Hovey

136
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: and his family should speak Spanish to her.

137
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: And then that's what.

138
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: People are saying on the tech, I got all your

139
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: bases cover, She'll she'll pick it up, she'll understand it.

140
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 3: I hope.

141
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: So I hope this is like for someone to help, right,

142
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: Like the younger the better.

143
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, is what your parents speak both.

144
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 5: My parents speak to go look, which is Filipino, but

145
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: they don't. They don't speak that to like. I never

146
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 5: learned it. We just spoke English.

147
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: Why why do you think? Why did they never teach

148
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: you fit in?

149
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, my parents wanted us to grow up as American

150
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: as possible so we could fit in better.

151
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: So, but in retrospect, don't you wish they had?

152
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 5: I wish I would have learned it, like I could

153
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 5: pick up some words, the bad words, mainly put yeah.

154
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, I wish like I've always wanted to take

155
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: lessons to learn it, but I feel like it's so

156
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 5: difficult now to learn as an adult.

157
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: What were you saying? Kick interrupted you?

158
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 6: No, I was just saying, the younger and the better.

159
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 6: Everything I learned. Every Spanish word I learned was in preschool.

160
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 6: I took Spanish three years in high school. I can't

161
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 6: tell you one thing I learned from high school. So

162
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: the younger, I think, the better we pick up.

163
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: Then I grew up in Arizona and we took it

164
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: from there from kindergarten, and I I understand it, but

165
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: like God, I wish i'd taken that. Seriously, that's one

166
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: of my biggest regrets is not like truly like forget

00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: about geometry. Who cares exactly honestly, what the hell was

168

00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 3: But p are you doing the sign language thing that

171
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: kids are doing?

172
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Now?

173
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: That's another thing.

174
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: So all the kids are learning from like the cartoons

175
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: and all of that too, but also like parents are

176
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,760

182
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: sign language things. So that's four languages, damn.
