Chinese acquisition after six months

Actually a little over four months as we spent two months in the middle back in Australia. Quite a difference - Alex talks to passersby, throws out little sentences at her brother as they play, plays with other chinese children and throws the occasional sentence at her parents. And yes, we have heard both "Mummy - you're saying it wrong!" and "I don't understand you - you're not teaching me english." when we ask her to do something. Here is a video of Alex speaking some chinese.

Wow! It's so cool listening to her with all the correct intonations! It's amazing how they pick it up. Wee miss her over here :-( can't wait to see you & Sebastien on sunday though!
