Sophie learnt "roar" today after I repeatedly tried to teach her "lion" using a hand puppet and books. Instead of saying "lion", she uttered "roar" when I roared "roar" like one frustrated lioness (after failing to get her to repeat whatever I said). It seemed like she would only repeat "fun" words so she could also make sheep sound "mie mie" (in Mandarin from her Chinese storybooks).
Today, I must have irritated her to her limits (I have 20+ NG video clips) with my attempts to make her utter "roar" and "mie mie". So she gave me a "mie mie" reluctantly and a "ROAR" like a real lion... hahaha... My funny girl!
Good job!! Sohpie...yes, children learn words that are of interest to them, one researcher from UK said...can't remember which article liao ...so try to find out what interest Sophie to get her to learn words ...
