I agree, Ayie..Children learn languages very fast, and easier than when they are adults..Wish you luck with this!

Wow, what a fun party. Even Spongebob was there! :)

Good luck to you on improving your Spanish. :)

Your baby will be a lucky one, he will be tri-lingual as he grows up.

It's good to have different colours of people under one roof. After all we are the same. :)

Ayie, when my two younger sons were born, I advertised for a housekeeper who was monolingual Spanish. My nursing job necessitated my being on call almost every night for sexual assault cases and I would have to leave at a moment's notice. I wanted the boys to learn Spanish as a second language - and they did. They have been fluent all their lives and it is wonderful. I think all people should be bilingual! They learned Spanish and English so quickly!

it sure looks like a great party and the food looks yummy indeed. I've never been to a Halloween party, that is because it's not in our culture of doing this.

kids learn things fast. they can learn any number of languages if they have enough exposure to them.

Nice to see all
It looks like a great party :-)
(The food looks yummie ....)

hahah, same here, ayie, when i am with my husband's aunts and uncles, they speak cantonese and i do not understand anything they say :)

hope you have a good weekend

nice mixed races!

The kids are so pretty and adorable. Yeah..it's no fun at all when you don't understand their language. Ayie ganda, you didn't learn Spanish from your Hubs?

I guess your MIL is a Filipino coz your Hubs is from Philipines right?

I think u gotta brush up your Spanish hehehe :-) Oh the skeleton must've been frighten the small kids but it's COOL...

it is so cool to attend a halloween party! n not to mention the dressed up! i have yet join one, can't wait to experience it myself as well. that is a good plan, it is cool to have the child understand multiple languages, it will help him in many ways in the future. :)

Oh, I agree that kids learn to speak a language faster than adults. I was an ESL (English as a Second language) teacher for 4 years (teehee) Some of the students who report on the first day barely understand the words "sit down" "line up" in a months time..whoa, they are already conversing in simple short sentences. Really fascinating! :)

i think it's very cool to be multi-lingual.. at least when someone try to scold you in another language (that he/she thought only he/she knows), you might understand that you are being scolded.. hahaha!! :p

Children are so much fun to have around. It is a good decision to teach your kid to be multi-lingual. It is a good asset to have.

Wow! You can speak Spanish?

I'm still struggling with Mandarin!

Ooh! The food looks so yummy! I'm getting hungry now...

Icy,

Thanks Icy! Hubs speak good spanish and I speak myown language so good as well and we both speak in english too and partially know both other languages so I think we can make it work. =)

Lina,

The birthday boy loves spongebob so he was the official mascot for the night. As for baby, yes he has to learn all 3 languages, that will be to his benefit.

Tekkaus,

For an occasion it's ok but maybe not living all together. Some culture clashes are not so pleasant.

Carmen,

That's great! With spanish I will have no problems because for sure the grandpa will talk to him in spanish just like how he did with my husband. He grew up til 5yrs old not really speaking english and just learnt the language when he went schooling.

Ramblings,

It's my first halloween party here, back then in the Philippines we do halloween dance and party too in our village.

I also want baby and us to learn chinese, it's just hard when I travel to other asian countries with chinese speaking people who can't understand english.

Anya,

The food was yummy!!!

Betchai,

More shopping this weekend! haha!

SO do you know how to speak cantonese now? I just know how to put some spanish words and converse a little and i comprehend too but can't go so so deep =)

Wenn,

We always meet different people whenever we attend an event to that specific cousin.

Mummy Sexy,

I already knew Spanish but very basic coz I was studying it back home but I was somehow diverted to Japanese. Hubs is so used talking to me in english so I think it's pretty awkward for him to teach though I told him to talk to me in Spanish. hehe I can get by understanding conversations and conversing as well but can't speak as fluent and as much as hubs.

His mom is Filipina but they were all born and raised here. They just migrated to the Philippines sometime when he was 15yrs old and went back here eventually.

Dora,

I will with baby =) More important I can understand their conversations and also speak to them even just a little.

Levian,

You said it all good, that's to his benefits.

Tes,

Really? That's quite odd but I understand...I've been exposed to hubs family and some can't really speak english nor comprehend.

SK,

Hahaha! That's why my FIL can't scold me in spanish coz I will understand, he knew I can understand i just have hard time putting up words to speak their language as good as them!

Autumn Belle,

Most especially in this country, it's a big advantage to know other languages than english.

Foong,

I want to learn mandarin too!

I can only speak a little Spanish but I understand more.

Yumyum foods =)

Looks like everyone had a great time at the Halloween party! How wonderful that your baby will learn three languages. Great Post! :)

i am sure you have a knack in learning languages.. jus like Malaysian , Filipinos already have acquired the knack after knowing n speaking so many different languages

OMG I love that Spanish dish oh my!!! :)

I feel like having Spanish / Mexican now!!! Still on my stupid BD lol but maybe I'll make an exception for something yummy like dis he he! :)
