My three-year old toddler and I (we live in Japan) went to Ikea for the day. We are trying to raise our daughter in a bilingual home. We want her to speak English and Japanese. This is proving to be pretty tough. Some days she says she only wants to speak one language, while other days she speaks English and Japanese at about the same rate. Today we went to Ikea in Japan, and I was surprised when she said to me: “I’m not in the mood to speak Japanese.” Naturally, I want her to learn English, but she is also half Japanese. So I want her to be fully fluent in Japanese too. I wasn’t expecting to do this kind of video, but I soon realized that these English language (parenting and raising kids bilingually) is probably something that many of us are struggling with. So I decided to upload this video anyways. Please reach out on Instagram or Twitter with any comments about the video!
