EU Luka Reading Robot Review
Ever since I found out about Luka, I’ve been dying to try one out. When I finally got hold of one, I started exploring how well it worked and the ways in which it could fit into our bilingual household. EU Luka is slightly different from China/US Luka but it still works well - mostly!
Magnetic Piggy Bank
Eliora really enjoys the book and it helps her enjoy the changing seasons in the UK. The activity should teach her not just colour but also encourage her to engage with the world around her!
Switch better than a Nintendo Switch?
So many switches in the world: light switches, computer switches, network switches, and now code-switching! I’ve started reading a tiny bit on pidgin and creole languages... It’s made me realise so much about what code-switching actually means to me. P.S. Thanks for your code-switching contributions on Facebook!
Play-do(ugh!)
While my sister is spending hours watching YouTubers making desserts, I’m looking for recipes for something I can’t even eat… But the end result really was worth it! My daughter loves playing with it and it’s a great tool to give her hands-on learning about the things in her books!
Zipping into space and function!
As an architect, what is most important to me is the space and function of the building (how it is structured and how it is used). So, in many ways, whenever I think of how I have learnt languages, the heart of it lies in the environment I was immersed in and the way I use languages now.
Colour me bean!
Recently, she’s taken quite a liking to a book about different coloured beans. Thankfully grandma always has a stock of each, so I thought it would be a good idea to make an activity out of it!
Words, words, words.
I may be an advocate of print books because I have an intense desire to fill a library that can match my ego, but they truly are irreplaceable for our children.
