Marta y Mario

Gracias a Cristina por mandarnos esta foto de Marta con su hijo Mario en la fiesta de carnaval 2007.

How's Marta's English?

For those of you who think Marta isn't making much progress in English:

Scene 1: Marta and Tris are in Tristan's playpen.

Marta:"Sacale de aquí Papá" [Get him out of her dad]

I reply: "If you tell me in English, I'll do it."

Marta: Take it out! Take it out!

Scene 2: Marta wants me to take off her shoes.

Marta: ¿Me quitas los zapatos? [Will you take off my shoes?]

I reply: How do you say that in English?

Marta: ¿Me quitas los zapatos....PLEASE?

Slowly but surely...

Anyone who reads Spanish might be interested in this article about how babies are able to distinguish between different languages just by gestures and mouth movements. Gracias Javi por el link.
