Today Elijah has switched from saying “no” to “nein”. The first time he said it, I was surprised, but didn’t show it and he looked at me like he wasn’t sure he knew what it meant. So I made like it was normal and then the rest of the day he substituted “nein” for “no”. They are learning quite a bit from german Teletubbies. Outside of the classes we go to, TV is the only way they will hear native German. I’m kind of worried that they’ll be behind in school because they don’t have the vocabulary like everyone else…

The german words they say so far are - tschuß, danke, heiß, baum, auto, hut, nein, hallo, lecker, probably some others that I’m forgetting.

Elijah also says “essasosoweo”. Can you guess what that means? Extraterrestrial, of course. For some reason, they couldn’t think of an “x” animal, so they put an alien in there and called it an “xtraterestrial”.
