Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fresh Show, like you're writing in our diaries,
except we say them a lot. We call them blogs, Paulina,
Yes you're ready, Yes, take it away.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Thank you so much, dear blog. So, as you guys know,
I have a baby girl, a daughter. She's three months old, Gabriella, and.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm new here.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So everything's new and the newest thing that I'm trying
to do or at least figure out, because even though
she's not speaking, she's not verbal yet. We haven't said
anything yet except like I don't know, just noises. I'm
already thinking ahead of well, what languages are we going
to teach her?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Right?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Like, what is she going to learn? And in my
family and in what you know Gabriella comes from. It's
going to be a little complicated because obviously she's American,
good old miracle, So we're gonna speak English. However, when
I was born, I didn't speak English. Child was about
like two or three, so my first language was Polish
because that was my mom's first language.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
She spoke to me, and that that's what I learned.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Then I got older, I watched TV, went to preschool,
all of that then I learned English, and then my
mom got married, the whole thing. So then I'm thinking, okay, well,
I also do want my daughter to speak Spanish. She's
like seventy five percent Hispanics, so I'm like, I would
like for her to speak that. The only thing is
I don't speak fluently at all.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
How he does.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He called himself a nosabo kid. I hate that because
I know he speaks it. He's just lost it throughout
the years, like he spoke with his grandmother, his father, everybody, right,
they would stake Spanish to him, and throughout the years,
you kind of lose it and you don't use it
as much as he once did. But he he understands it.
He speaks it. Whatever his parents do, they speak to me, well,
his family would talk to me, he's in Spanish. I'll
reply in English because I don't feel comfortable saying something
(01:42):
in Spanish because I know I'm going to mess it
up real quick.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But I just don't know how do you teach a
child three languages?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
To me, it seems really complicated.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm no language expert, but I've been researching it and
they're saying that that's possible.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I know kids in Europe speak three languages.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
They'll speak Italian, Spanish, English, Arabic, whatever it might be, right, Like,
that's possible. I mean, my girl Shakira speaks like five languages.
The pope, the pope speaks like the seven language.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
He knows a few too many words.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
See not that both the other previous popes sean van
who knows what?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Three languages?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I just wondered how that works, and we may have
to get back to it. I'd love to take calls
on this, but like do you just do you just
speak to the kid from the earliest of ages in
all languages and then they sort of sorted out in
his or her head, you know, he or she would
sort it out the child. Or do you make a
conscious effort, you know, like do you say, like I'm
going to teach you English, so we're gonna speak English,
(02:34):
but then you're gonna go to school for this and
then like does that work as well as if you
just sort of immerse them in it? Like I guess
I've never understood because I regret, like I wish that
somebody had taught me, well, they kind of did teach
me Spanish at a young age. But I wish I
had really like taking it seriously, or that somebody had
been around me that spoke it so that I was
forced to use it at a young age. Like if
(02:55):
I ever had a kid, I feel like I would
I would find a way for that child to learn
another language from the earliest possible stage.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's so beneficial.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's I think the younger, the younger, the better, Yeah,
to learn it a language, because now that I'm trying
to like learn more Spanish, it is so difficult at
a big age. And I think when you're a baby,
you're just You're a sponge, right. The only thing is
I and I know this is probably a stigma, but
they say that the kid gets confused then, and you
know what I mean, Like she's thinking she's speaking Spanish,
she's talking Polish, maybe English. I don't want to confuse her.
(03:25):
But I was told by a language. I don't know
what's the doctor or who she was. Well, she's on Instagram.
She's awesome. But she said like their kids are not
gonna get confused. Children don't get confused.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
No, I think I think you just have to you
have to speak Polish to her and Hobby has to
speak Spanish to her and she'll pick it up.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
She'll understand.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Then you explain it to them and they'll understand, and
then English will come along as well. Yeah, because English
should be like the lowest on the priority list in
my opinion. She's gonna learn that on TV, she's gonna
learn it at school, she's gonna.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Learn it with her friends. So I find to know,
like you guys cover the ones you know. Maybe I
don't know, but what the hell?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, if you speak to her in Polish and Hobby
speaks her in Spanish, she'll pick pick both of them up.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I mean, if it works, it works. To have a
chrilingual kid would be insane.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
God, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
H I hopes for her. Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.
I'm just like, yeah, I'm wondering how to go about
that exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I don't want to confuse her and then do I
walk around the house speaking Polish all day because then
Hobby's not.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Going to understand. So it's just like a lot of
complicated parts to this. We'll tell Marta to only do Yeah,
she's doing.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That well because I know kids that they grew up
in an English speaking household, but then like their grandmother
spoke something else like I don't know Polish or whatever
it was, and so then they had to go to
school on the weekend, like on Saturday to learn it,
and that they resented that because it was like I
don't want to do that, Like then I'm talking about,
you know, being ten eleven, twelve into high school.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I got to go to this school on.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
The weekend and do that. It's my day off and whatever.
So they didn't really like it was kind of like
the rest of us in school. We didn't take it
as seriously as we could have. Yeah, you know, so
I feel like from the earliest age, if you just
start speaking, then it hopefully they just absorb it, or
she does in this case, I hope.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
So so I feel like you should speak English to her,
your mom should speak Polish to her, and then Hovey
and his family should speak Spanish to her.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
And then that's what.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
People are saying on the tech, I got all your
bases cover, She'll she'll pick it up, she'll understand it.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So I hope this is like for someone to help, right,
Like the younger the better.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, is what your parents speak both.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
My parents speak to go look, which is Filipino, but
they don't. They don't speak that to like. I never
learned it. We just spoke English.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Why why do you think? Why did they never teach
you fit in?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah, my parents wanted us to grow up as American
as possible so we could fit in better.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
So, but in retrospect, don't you wish they had?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I wish I would have learned it, like I could
pick up some words, the bad words, mainly put yeah.
But yeah, I wish like I've always wanted to take
lessons to learn it, but I feel like it's so
difficult now to learn as an adult.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What were you saying? Kick interrupted you?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
No, I was just saying, the younger and the better.
Everything I learned. Every Spanish word I learned was in preschool.
I took Spanish three years in high school. I can't
tell you one thing I learned from high school. So
the younger, I think, the better we pick up.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Then I grew up in Arizona and we took it
from there from kindergarten, and I I understand it, but
like God, I wish i'd taken that. Seriously, that's one
of my biggest regrets is not like truly like forget
about geometry. Who cares exactly honestly, what the hell was
I ever going to use that for?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
But p are you doing the sign language thing that
kids are doing?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
That's another thing.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So all the kids are learning from like the cartoons
and all of that too, but also like parents are
teaching like I know when you put your fingers together,
that's more.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I don't know, John, Before they can speak English, they
can communicate with you. So my little cousin is like, yeah,
I see that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
A lot a lot of little kids are doing the
sign language things. So that's four languages, damn.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
But this is important though, guys, like as each of
you start having kids, like we have Polly, we have Mayve,
we have Gabriella Nashland, we have little baby Lakeshore drives soon.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
And if you don't live in Chicago, then there's a
we have baby trying. That's a street that's a street joke.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But we need to really make sure that we are
investing in the next generation of this show here because
we need we need one of these kids to do
something really big so we can all make some money.
So what I'm saying is like, let's whatever we need
to teach ab how to fly, I got you. We
got teaching about sports, Jason's got you. They need to
learn about Taylor Swift from the youngest age, you know,
(07:17):
making money moves. Uh. You know Rufio and Kiki, you
know they from their sort of nefarious childhood can teach
you something.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Really Like Ashly wants to be a YouTuber, Like he
makes videos like on Jess's phone, he talks to the people.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, it's like.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Trying to buy some professional what are you waiting on? Yeah,
let's get Kiki in there. Let's do some media coaching,
Like let's we need we need better coaching. Let's make
some money
