Wow, I’m amazed at her progress!! Not only she expresses her opinions flawlessly, but she can talk back to Jun-san！I appreciate your dedication living in Japanese surroundings. And my preschool kids enjoys this video maybe because they regard Mina-chan as cool “えいごのおねぇちゃん” 💕 I have one subtle question. I heard “calpis” is called “Calpico” in other countries because it sounds “cow pis*” for native speakers😅 How much do you fix the names of Japanese products? Do you feel a little strange when you encounter something that is called differently?
Cow piss! 😂 Having grown up a bilingual myself, it no longer bothers me when I hear certain words or product names sounding strange in a different language. But if, let's say, Mina was traveling abroad or communicating with people from non-Japanese countries, I would make sure to teach her not to say "Calpis" unless she wants to be laughed at 😅 (She's also old enough to realize how gross-sounding it is.) This video also reminded me that I need to teach her the difference between "cider" and "soda"! I'm so happy to hear your preschoolers enjoyed watching Mina on screen. Thank you all for your continued support! I hope all is going well with your bilingual parenting ✨
This is so encouraging. I have a daughter 5 years old. I speak to her in English, and she speaks to her mother in Japanese. Our language at home WAS 100% until she turned 5, when she suddenly asked me, “why are we speaking in English?” and she started to talk to me in Japanese. I still continue to reading books to her, and she still enjoys it.
Thank you for your comment! Mina also went through a similar phase but I just kept talking to her in English and it has now become the norm for us. The most important thing is to make it fun, whether that's chatting, reading, or playing games in English. At the end of the day, the time spent together will be the most rewarding for both parent and child. Best of luck!
Oh, my!!!! I am so happy to meet your family!!! I was almost got stuck with my おうちえいご but now I have you!!! Are you planning to meet-up sometime in the future???
Thank you for your comment! We are so glad you found us! Our aim is to provide English conversation exposure in a fun way and support all families that pursue おうち英語✨ For now, we don't have any plans for a meet-up, but we will certainly consider it if there is enough demand 😅
Loved "Wow, you're such a grown up♡" I always enjoy watching your kids grow Junsan:) My son and I sometimes get those strange looks too but he seems that he doesn't care at all. I guess he's too young to realize that our language environment is pretty rare here in Japan. As he starts going to elementary school next month, he might start saying something though. And it is just amazing how much time you spend on studying at home not forcing the kids to but in a fun way. I should learn from you.😂
Hiya! Thank you for watching our video! I don't know how well sarcasm translates to a bilingual child, but I love teasing Mina like that 😂 It's not always sunshine and roses when it comes to studying. I sometimes have to force her to sit down and do the work. Now that it is part of our morning routine, it's much easier. But the poor thing has so much on her plate that I feel bad sometimes. I do try to make it as fun as possible but it takes a lot of 工夫 and patience! Your son will be an elementary schooler soon! Teito too! It's going to be a big change but I'm sure with the parents' love and support, they'll do great ✨ Hoping our bilingual parenting will keep going well 👍
She is amazing in this video. To be honest I thought her English was worse than this. Dad works full time and mom doesnt speak English, so I thought she doesnt get enough English time. But here in this video she is expressing subtle things like father-son relationships. Is that because she is reading books? At this point in development reading may be the key to level up her speaking. Reading books at 8 yo is simply awsome.
My thoughts exactly! Reading books has helped her linguistic abilities in many ways. As she continues to read (hopefully), I'm hoping some of the small grammatical mistakes will be corrected. I have started teaching her some grammar rules like subject-verb agreement, but through books, shows and our daily interactions, she is already able to form some rather natural sentences. Thank you for all your support and I hope I can continue to share Mina's English progress 😀✨

みなちゃんに聞いてくださりありがとうございます！（みなちゃんも、ありがとう♡）
状況によって柔軟に英語⇄日本語を切り替えながら、娘の負担にならない様に続けていこうと思いました。
あと、公立の小学校に行ってほぼ一日中日本語に触れ、英語に触れるのは学校後から就寝までの2.3時間のみで、どれだけ英語が維持できるか心配ですが、みなちゃんを見る限り大丈夫そうですね。希望が持てます。笑
多分年齢が上がって、母国語の日本語をしっかり頭の中でプロセスできる様になると、英語に対しても同じ様に上手くプロセスできる様になるのかもしれませんね。
日本語は世界の言語で3番目に難しい言語だそうです。（特に読み書き）
なので、我が子供達にはしっかり日本語を勉強してもらって、英語はsecond languageという位置付けでも全然いいと思ってます。（じゅんさんみたいに両言語パーフェクトって中々難しいですしね）
子供に強制せず、親も頑張り過ぎない様に細く長ーくコツコツ続けられていければと思います。
動画にして下さりありがとうございました^_^
こちらこそ、親子で話し合う（家族で考える）良い機会をいただきました。ありがとうございました。
きっと、同じような境遇や、子どもへの英語教育で悩まれている方、多くいらっしゃると思うので、動画にしてしまいました😂
子どもは親が思うより柔軟に乗り越えていってくれますが、それが実現するには、子どもの考えや意見をしっかり聞いて受け止める、が大事だと思っています。今後も節目節目でこういった話題に触れて、方向を見失わないようにしたいと思います✨☺️
かわいすぎた！！！むちゃむちゃ英語の勉強もできるし最高でした！！
ありがとうございます😊
英語の勉強にも役立ててくれて嬉しいです!
まだ中学生ですが英語に興味を持ち始め、最近見始めました☺️
大変なはずなのにも関わらず英語字幕と日本語字幕をどちらも書いて下さりとても感謝してます…🙏🏻
こんなにも心優しい家族たちと出会えて良かったです🎶
ご覧いただきありがとうございます✨中学生で英語に興味が出てきたのですね!
学校の授業も大事ですが、生きた英語に触れるのも大切ですよね😊
見つけてくださってありがとうございます✨また観に来てくださいね!
Minaちゃん独り占めシリーズ！楽しかったです☺
もう対等に会話が 成立しますね！ジュンさんへの切り返しが面白かった😂
親の子供への接し方、子供ながら見ててわかるんですね。そんな風に図星？に当たるなんてMinaちゃんの成長が素晴らしいです❤
二人の会話を見てこんなスムーズに話せるようにがんばろ〜と思いました✌
いつもありがとうございます☺️
ホントに、よく見てるな〜と感心することばかりです。Teitoもそうだったりするので、子供だからといって侮れないですよね😂
minaちゃんすごいな。。。小二の頃なんて鼻水垂らしながらサッカーボール追いかけてた記憶しかないわ😌w 今晩はこの動画にイマージョンだあああ🐑
ご覧いただきありがとうございます✨小２の考えを見ていただける動画になったと思います👍😏
Minaちゃん可愛すぎるし、誰にでも好かれるキャラクターだな〜と思いました！他の人に何を言われてもこのままMinaちゃんらしくいて欲しいです＾＾（ぜひMinaちゃんに伝えてもらえたら嬉しいです！）パパとの会話もすごい考えさせられる会話になっててますます賢くなっていきますね❤質問なのですがMinaちゃんはフォニックスを習得していますか？英語の本が読めるということはどうやって読んでるんだろう？と気になりました！（過去動画で紹介されていたらすみません。今毎日娘のnap timeに過去動画を視聴しているのですが追いついてません💦）
ご覧いただきありがとうございます✨嬉しいお言葉、Minaにももちろん伝えます☺️フォニックスはアルファベットを読めるようになってすぐやりました。カードやワークブックもとりくみましたが、一番はよくRUclipsとかで流れる歌で自然と身につきました。その後は簡単な３文字単語などからちょっとずつ読めるようになります👍
過去動画も見ていただいているなんて嬉しいです✨何かわからないことがあれば気軽に聞いてください☺️
Such a lovely video 😍Thank you for sharing to us.
Thank you so much ❤️ It was a lot of fun hanging out with my daughter 😁
私としたことがお二人の動画を見逃してました😂ミーナちゃんの返しが面白くてクスッと笑ってしまいます😂
いつもミーナちゃんとの会話に癒されとても勉強になります。うちも娘が二人いるのでこんな素敵な親子会話になんというか憧れます✨
いつもありがとうございます😊
見ていただいて嬉しいです☆子供との時間、ゆっくり語る時間も意外といいですよね！Minaとはいろいろな話ができるようになって嬉しいです♪
ミーナちゃんとダディ2人の会話、最高❣️
見てて微笑ましくて楽しくて、本当にステキな親娘ちゃんです❤
私は息子3人だったのですが、現在二男三男には女の子の孫がいます。
それぞれの関わり方を見ているととても楽しそうです。
英会話ができたらもっと楽しそうって思います😂
無理な話ですが、、、でも少しは興味持たせようとしているようです。
アメリカに彼女たちのいとこ2人男の子がいますので将来ちゃんと英語でお話しできるといいなぁと思います。
ご覧いただきありがとうございます✨男の子たちとの会話や遊びも楽しいですが、娘との時間はまた違った楽しさがあります☺️
アメリカに親戚がいるというのは英語を学ぶ良いきっかけになりそうですよね!今後いい影響があるのではないかと思います✨
イマージョンにとても良いチャンネルに出会いました。できれば日本語訳をもう少しだけ小さくして頂けるとありがたいです！
イマージョンに良いと言っていただけて嬉しいです😊
字幕もよく見てくださって、ご意見ありがとうございます😊
是非他の動画も見てみてください!

いつも楽しく見ています！
娘とminaちゃんを重ねながら、こんな風に育ってくれたらいいなぁと思っています😊
うちも三人目が産まれたので、毎日バタバタですが、こんな風に一対一の時間を作って大切にしたいなと思います！
いつもご覧いただきありがとうございます✨ご出産おめでとうございます☺️
３人いても１対１大事ですよね👍是非バタバタの中にも時間を見つけてみてください🥹
素敵な親子
ありがとうございます😊

ミナちゃん素敵！
ありがとうございます。
嬉しいです✨
聞きやすい👍
ありがとうございます😊
娘さんはスラングとかも知ってるですか？英語の
アニメや映画も見せているので知っているのもあるかもしれませんね😅わざわざ教えてはないですが、自然に覚えてしまうものです😊
字幕オフにも変更できたら最高に勉強になります💦💦
ご覧いただきありがとうございます😊
字幕は今のところ消せないのですが、これから需要が増えてきたら検討します🫡
アメリカで育つと話好きになる？
日本男子、こんなに話さないから。
日本人もアメリカ人も話好きはそれぞれだと思いますが、どちらかと言うと娘との時間、たくさん話さないともったいないな〜コミュニケーション取りたいな〜と言う気持ちです♪自然とおしゃべりになりますね✨
4:09 that's a lot!! lol
😁 Dads really know how to embarrass their daughters!
