It's been intense and we've very much walked our own path to this point, but it's slowly paying off. I'd have willingly given you my right arm a couple of years ago in exchange for the conversations I can now have with my son. Even the ones where he speaks Chinese! (Self taught)

Brilliant! Utterly utterly brilliant! How old is he John?

He's still only 8. I still refer to him as little one, but he's really not that little any more.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Oh yes!
But also... so many languages ahead too!
(Chinese is just his latest fad)
I preferred the previous ones - at least I could still understand the keyboard and the menus then!

I would recommend manga cartoons and learning Japanese for the speech bubbles. You may have a chance then

Thinking/dancing. Thank you! I'm kinda hoping he moves on to another language again soon tbh. We went through a large number of Eastern European ones previously, so fingers crossed he wanders back into the Latin alphabet again. I could live without having to learn symbols!

he's taking you on his journey with him! Does he read?

Oh yes. Books, labels, signs... you name it, he'll read it now. When we were trying to get him talking again after a year of silence, I used to phonetically read out the 3 letters of every passing car number plate to him as if it were a word, until he started doing it too. :)
