Learn Romanian With Cris! Invata limba romana cu Cris!

One of the challenging time is to teach my children "Romanian Language". Actually i started to introduce the Romanian vocabulary and songs since my children are toddlers. However it is not easy to encourage them to do conversation or to think in Romanian language. Back in 2006 when I came to Malaysia, i was alone, without any family members nearby and even the technology was not that advanced like now where everyone uses Whatsapp and Facebook. Back in 2006 i remember there was the yahoo, msn messenger and later skype available, but with paid services and expensive then and maybe twice or three times a month I called my family, with this my children had less interactions with my family in Romania.

At ther early age, my children were confused, and mix all the languages: Romanian, Bahasa Melayu and English. Sometimes i was scared if they will have any problems in the primary school. And they will not be able to cope with their colleagues.  In many times, they come back from kindergarten and criticized me that i teach them the words in a wrong way, as their teachers teach them the correct way, referring to Bahasa Melayu. I taught them less in Romanian not to confuse them or embarrass them in front of their colleagues. However, after I started studying Psychology and understand the humans, the bilingual or multilingual children and the languages, i started again to teach them.  I am not trying to find excuse, but this was my opinion. Even me, i started to learn English and Bahasa Melayu when I was 20 years old and i believe managed to master it at an average level. Regardless, i am still learning English and Bahasa Melayu even nowadays.

During this #lockdown i got the idea to start to do some lesson of Romanian Language together with my children. In this way i am encouraging them to get involved in Romanian Lessons.
