Or maybe we should just drop the pronoun altogether?

Thanks for the interesting post.
I no...Dear Julia<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post.<br /><br />I notice different behaviors among my three nieces. <br /><br />The first two who are sisters like 'Hi5' very much and learned from the VCDs.<br /><br />The third one who is the cousin, go with Disney Junior, as her parents subscribe to paid TV.<br /><br />All three girls learn some words and styles of saying things..., <br />especially the emotion words like happy, surprise, disappointment, etc.<br /><br />More interestingly, one of them says it with a dance-like fashion. She just like the kinesthetics. <br /><br />Sadly, none of them like the Mandarin animation on the free television channel. None of their parents watch with them as the parents have their own Ipad, Iphone and other needs to be away or running errands or work. The children are big enough (age 4, 5, 7)to be on their own now watching the animation on screen.<br /><br />I think the intervention in or around play/games may also create some changes in terms of accessing the play/game material and in charting the materiality of the outcomes.<br /><br />Cheers<br />jyhjyhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714518845507850015.post-4766840155609628052014-03-12T19:21:16.378-07:002014-03-12T19:21:16.378-07:00Hello again Peter

The ones I tried were all based on translation between English and Portuguese. I guess maybe there is more variety/less translation in some of the other exercises?<br />JuliaJulia Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07212715483947336555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714518845507850015.post-59552574276473743062014-03-12T05:19:27.012-07:002014-03-12T05:19:27.012-07:00Our Quick Games ( no login required!),@ www.gamesf...Our Quick Games ( no login required!),@ www.gamesforlanguage.com may work for older children. interested in some feedback!Peter Rettignoreply@blogger.com
