Q&A: I would like my child to learn
Ukrainian, but my wife is at home with him during the day and she only speaks
English.
Many
of the strategies you have suggested are excellent and I think you provide
ample ideas and variations. The most effective strategy for us is when
asking, for example for a drink, to make them repeat after me in
Italian. Also effective is
reading books to learn new words. However, the bottom line is that my
children do not see a need to reply in Italian.
