Your children are adorable - happy, free and authentic❣️ Those are the most important things they will ever learn from you both. They know how to communicate their feelings and you have instilled in them a desire to learn. Bravo! 👍💓
I just know that your husband mother language is bahasa, quite similiar with bahasa Indonesia. As Indonesian wowan, I speak bahasa in daily, and as a moslem I learn Arabic Qoran, learn English since pre school and use in the office, sometimes I speaks two local languages (both from my dad & mom)😀😀 No matter if you teach few languages to your kids as long their ages after 4 or 5 years old. I ever heard from couples that their son has speech delayed, psychologist said that boy confused of many languages he heard. Mom speaks English, dad speaks French, baby sitter speaks Javaness and grandma speaks Bahasa😀😀 So when all of them speak only English to the little boy, thanks GOD he could SPEAKS 2 months later🤗
Time and place makes a difference. My Yiddish speaking grandparents came to the United States in the 1920's. My father came home from kindergarten crying because the other kids made fun of his speaking and he never spoke Yiddish again. When I would ask him how to say something in Yiddish, he would always emphatically state that he did not speak Yiddish. Yet when my grandfather spoke to my father in Yiddish, beyond the simple Yiddish I picked up, my father would understand. Small town USA for many years was not accepting of "foreigners" and "foreign languages"; you had to speak "American" and be an "American".
I’m half Malaysian half Thai(mom from south thailand) and I only speak two languages English and Malay.. mom never teach me and my siblings to speak in Thai but now I’m learning Thai so that I can speak with my Thai side of the family. ❤
I usually hate paid promotion videos, but Mon saying that the Dutch language was "so funny yet disgusting at the same time" made it all worth it. So funny!🤣🤣
My family and I believe the more languages and dialects one can master, it’s better. You enhance your self worth and marketability when you’re looking for employment. So my family of 5 speaks Hokkien - father tongue, Cantonese - Easy to pick up if living in Kuala Lumpur like us as everybody uses Cantonese, Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia and English - all acquired from government school while growing up. Total 5 languages/dialects. Unfortunately nobody pick up Mother’s tongue - Shanghainese because wife herself not fluent in the dialect herself. In short, the more the better. ❤️ from 🇲🇾
I'm from South Africa, grew up in Namibia, was raised with Afrikaans and English, with an understanding of German and Dutch. I feel the same as Mon, to say "I love you" ... Instead of "Ek het jou lief" just feel like I've expressed my feelings better than in Afrikaans. I mix my languages all the time😂 Lovely kids, they'll be OK, practise makes perfect. Greetings from Cape Town❤
Love this video! We use italki for our kids as they are learning Japanese (their choice not ours). I used to have to sit in with them during the lessons but now they are both "trained up" and can handle lessons by themselves. We just throw them in a room with a laptop or iPad. I was exactly like Mon at 7:35 when I'd secretly check in on how they were doing but now when their lesson time comes, it's like getting "free babysitting". The kids are engaged and learning something new and we have an hour to ourselves where we can relax.
I was your kids (now I'm 33)! My parents spoke Thai and I would reply in English and refuse to speak in Thai. Now I'm paying thousands of dollars for lessons to regain a language I knew as a toddler. Definitely keep encouraging them to speak in Thai and Dutch! They'll really appreciate it when they're older.
Thank you so much! They go to a Thai governmen school on the island now which is not the greatest educational institution but at least they get to learn Thai a lot. Hopefully we can keep the Thai even if one day we choose another school for them. Where do you live now btw? And where did you grow up?
@@SweetLifeLanta That’s great! All the best to their language learning journey. I grew up in the US (parents immigrated here in their 20’s) and I still live here, but in California instead of Texas. I don’t know any Thai people or speakers here outside of my parents, and at this point it’s just easier for them to talk to me in English. So in my 20’s I decided to get a private tutor, taught myself to read, all that. It’s slow going but I just signed up for an online intensive at Chulalongkorn so I hope it will help me focus my studies! At some point I’d like to visit Thailand on my own and put my skills to the test, too.
@@invinciblemoon4880 sounds great! I totally understand your journey. And yes thanks! I will be more strict with my kids so they can learn Thai as a native. It would be such a shame especially because we are very connected to Thailand. Hope to see you here one day! And I'm making another language video soon!
Some people are more comfortable speaking English even when they were raised in households with multiple languages. I'm sure that's with any language. You guys are doing awesome!!!❤
OMG, learning the native languages is so important. My mom came to the US in the 70s and never taught me her language. I couldn't communicate with my aunts and uncles as well as I would have liked. As an adult, I try to pass Visayan to my children but without anyone to talk to, it is really hard. Just try and try to pass it on.
This one is going to be very interesting. I speak French, my husband Nepali and we speak to each others in English. It's difficult to know which approach is the best. My husband speaks 100% Nepali with our 3 years old. But living in Nepal, my son refuses to speak french as there is 'no need' and nobody speak french here. I end up speaking English to him because he ignores me when I speak French. Multi language is a gift but it's tough and tricky. I am eager to know more and if you have some advises. Waiting for this video !! 😊
Yeah it's definitely an interesting dilemma that we all have in our international relationship! And you will see that we are not experts, I can only tell you what we did NOT do well, hahaha... I checked out your channel BTW, I like it! Hope we get to collaborate one day.
In my opinion you should still speak French to all your children. Children picks up their mother’s tongue easily when the grow up and will only appreciate the assets when they grow up. We as parents know what is best for our children. ( See my own comment in the comment section )
@@joannego856 Actually I am replying to ParisMeetsKatmandu about teaching her children French but I accidentally posted it onto SweetLifeLanta. Posted wrongly.
I think for now Thai and English. Later they can pick up Dutch and what ever they want . I am coming form a similar background and we choose teach those language where we lived and live. Which is Swiss German and English. But make sure that they get a good general education as well. Especially you Maayan, you probably got a strong general education that you want pass on the kids.. they are beautiful and living their best childhood. Thanks to their parents.
I envy people that can speak more than 2 languages. I was brought up with both English and Malay since I was able to talk. My son speaks English, Malay & Japanese. Will ask him to use italki to learn mandarin using your code 😊 we use more English at home, so it's I love you.
Hoi lieve familie!! Our friend living 1/2 time in Thailand didn't want to learn Dutch to his child; Thai, German, English and now it's becoming a bitter, sad situation because the only grand child can't communicate with his grand ma. It's never too late and children learning fast, as a game. It's important for them, all family's members as well as social contacts. You give them a plus, not only with the languages but with the different cultures attached with. Veel groetjes uit zeelland!
As a pre-school teacher in South Africa, every child learns about 3 languages.. English.. Afrikaans and either Xhosa or Zulu. They learn this quicker and easier than adults..they also tend to mix it together when small but separate each language when they are school ready.
It was so lovely to see the children as very small ones. Ive always wanted to see how cute they were and a bit of your family life before you began sweet life lanta. God bless you ❤
Such a great episode ❤ So accessible, but this video should be added to resource lists for applied linguistics courses 😊 Thank you, I’m going to use this in my work with multilingual students & parents 🙏
This topic is so interesting! Mon needing to find a language for love because his mother-tongue, does not contain the emotional connection he needs to express his feelings. On the other hand, Maayan growing up in a multi-lingual home and trying to pick her language of love. I have to say, that you, Maayan, sound much more relaxed speaking Dutch. I had a similar problem, trying to choose a language with my daughter, as a bilingual sigle mom. My mother tongue is Hebrew but my father's tongue is English. I chose English, but it wasn't easy. It took time to feel natural as a love language. So I can really relate to what you're talking about in this video...❤
Hi Maayan 👋. I can completely relate with your children. My family is from Puerto Rico and everyone in my family; Mom, brother, & grandparents speak fluent Spanish. I can understand Spanish, but when it comes to replying that's another story. Growing up my parents mostly spoke English with me. Now I'm living in the Dominican Republic with my husband who also speaks Spanish & I find myself stuck not being able to speak anymore than the basics. I wouldn't blame yourself and Mon., sometimes languages are harder to pick up for some children then others and as an adult I can tell you it's still a challenge. You and your family are lovely and thanks so much for sharing your story 🤍
Your lives are such a beautiful adventure. When I watch your family, I always feel so much joy at seeing your journey. Thank you for sharing with all of us and being so authentic. Much love to all of you. ♥
Omg this video was adorable! I am American and my husband is Vietnamese. We live in the US and have two kids. Since the beginning, my husband only speaks Vietnamese with the kids. I speak mostly English but some Vietnamese. My mother-in-law also lives with us and she cannot speak English so she only speak Vietnamese. I think this balance of the two languages is what made us successful. If we had a third language in the mix, it would surely be difficult. But I totally understand about the English exposure during covid because my husband and I only speak English to each other. If we didn't have his dedication to speak Vietnamese and my MIL help we would fail!
Congratulations on the promotion Maayan!!! So proud of you guys! I will use the code and this program bec i want to take my duolingo spanish up a notch but need someone to talk to so thank you! I grew up speaking Yiddish and English equally here in NY (learned Hebrew later) and i speak to my 5 yr old son both languages since hes born since its really important to me that hes able to communicate with his grandparents and cousins that dont speak English. When he was younger hed get annoyed sometimes and tell me to just speak English but i said no theyre both equally important and pushed on. During a conversation ill switch languages in middle of a sentence just to keep him on his toes lol. He began learning Hebrew in school when he was 3 so hopefully hell know all 3 fluently. Keep up the good work!!
You guys are doing a good job . I think Millie will good at speaking Dutch. ❤ My family is from Cambodia. I speak Khmer. I am like Mon we didn’t grow up saying I love you expressing emotions and all especially in the language Khmer. I am thankful that I am fluent and can speak it. Even until this day I say I love you to my Mom in English because it feels more natural and pure. Thanks for the video Maayan and Mon. Sending you lots of hugs from California.
Bahasa To English Saya means I Cinta means Love Mu or Anda means You So, saya cinta mu Or, saya cinta anda means the same. Millie is already showing signs to be good at Dutch. Keep up all the good works 🎉❤
It reminds of my Philippines dialect. In my dialect, Cinta meaning Love and Saya, the meaning is happiness! Hmm ' am so amazed 👍 My dialect is Pampango. I am from the Northern part, Luzon, by Clark.
@@carmenklein6372 What a coincidence. I just finished chatting with my Filipino friend near Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Luzon a minute ago and she told me Magandang Gabi means good night 😴 She teaches me some Tagalog words from time to time.
Its wonderful the way you raise them, in connection with natural environment. Your house doesnt have windows….Its a giant step to a 21 century young human being !!! Of course, communication, being an important issue, language(s) are of most importance also. But i am sure you are on an interessing path with your kids.
I’m very interested in this topic. My parents were Korean, my first mother tongue was Korean, later went to Chinese school and studied in Japan. Currently I’m livening and working in Germany. So I speak automatically German and English. My kids speak German, Chinese as mother tongue. In the school they learn English, French and Latin. The older one is going to South Korea as an Exchange Student. For me any kind of languages is worth to learn. You both do amazing❤❤❤
We are a German/Thai Family and and we all speak in 3 Languages... My Thai husband can speak German very well and a bit english and my Thai i think is not that bad (mostly south Thai🤭)..our son grew up with German and Thai but speak mostly German...and learn English later, because when he was younger he speak 3 Languages all in one and no one outside understand him😂...now he is grown up and start to speak Thai from himself because he want to... But... i love you we all say in English , i dont know why...🤔 🤣🤣🤣
Hello Maayan, It didn’t happen at all like we had in mind as well. Multiple language is a tricky subject but you handle it so good. Regarding multiple languages, I think there is more to it and not fixed rules… We can only say what NOT to do, right? 😉 But what you do right is to DANCE WITH YOUR KIDS! 😜😊👌
It's not a mistake to raise children speaking multi languages, as long as parents also knows these languages so they know if their children are speaking the truth. In our country, the Philippines, we have a national language (Filipino), but English is our second language. In addition to these two languages, we have also local dialects, depending upon the province we were raised. Your children are lucky to have you as their parents. God bless from the Philippines...
Zo geweldig hoe jullie jullie kinderen opvoeden..en wat moeilijk om diie talen door te drukken ..leuk ik verstond aku cinta pada mu .. zelf denk ik dat Engels toch de beste taal is voor ze en Thais omdat ze daar wonen ..ze hebben allebei een talenknobbel dus dat moet met de keuze om Nederlands of Bahasa te leren spreken ,niet moeilijk zijn later..Je gevoelens uiten ,ja ,in mijn geval toch in het Nederlands omdat ik opgevoed ben met die taal ..Maar wel mooi om te zien hoe zij zich ontwikkelen..Ga zo door ..deze kleine mensen worden wereldburgers en jullie zijn Toppers ❤ groetjes, LouLou..mama van Chai..
We speak 3 languages in school, Chinese mandarin, English, Filipino, & Cantonese’s at home growing up in the Philippines. we are smart young kids light a new computer, we have no problems in the society. Good for your children .
Mon's dialect of Bahasa sounds like Bahasa Kelantan. I was born in Kelantan but don't understand much of what he's saying (i only understand standard bahasa). really cool that there are communities in thailand that speak it.
My husband is Belgian. I’m a Malay. He speaks Dutch with the kids since they were born. Malaysian,s second language is English. I speak English with them. They speak Bahasa with my family ( a broken version). They learn French, Chinese and German is school. Since our kids goes to French , they speak French amongst them. I love it the fact they speaks multiple language. My 15 years old travelled alone to Vienna recently for exchange student and her live is so full because she speaks multiple languages I feel that this is the best assets that we could give to our kids. They have huge opportunities out there because of they are multilingual. Beesten met u kindere. Het is noot te laat.
In Suriname in Sranan Tongo we say "Mi Lobi Yu" (I Love You). Sranan Tongo is a language which everyone speaks and understands. Even when you are a foreigner, the language can be quickly learned. I'm a mix of Javanese, Jewish (German) en Afro-Surinamese. I speak fluently Dutch (that's the mother language in Suriname) and English. Beside that a little Bahasa, Javanese, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic en other languages, because Suriname is a mix of people coming from all over the world. I love your channel, especially the kids! Greetings from Suriname!
Awww your kids are so cute learning other languages I would just keep speaking to them regularly in the languages you want them to learn and they will pick it up :). I think I will feel your struggle when I have a baby. My first language is English, my husband's first language is Tamil and I am a language enthusiast and also speak Spanish very well so I would like my child to speak English, Spanish, and Tamil. I want to enroll them in a bilingual English/Spanish program at school. But I always tell my husband you have to talk a lot to our future baby in Tamil (my husband is a quiet person) or they won't be able to speak to their grandma. I try learning Tamil but it is very difficult but I will keep trying. My husband speaks fluent English so we have always used English to communicate. Good luck!!! It is amazing to be able to speak multiple languages. I am a language teacher and language learner it is my passion.
Leuk om jullie in het Nederlands te horen praten. En goed van je om de kinderen ook Nederlands te leren spreken. ❤👍 Vergeten te zeggen. Lieve groeten uit Holland❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷
Wow I love how your teaching them different languages. I’m going to check that link out. Love how you guys interact with each other ❤ And the dancing 💃🏻 Well with my kids I speak English and with my parents and siblings in Spanish and English. 😊
Hello! I think that your kids are doing really well with the assorted languages! I guess I would want my children to speak the languages that one could communicate with loved ones and two that would assist in their success. In Canada it’s best to speak English and French and many immigrants would have a third language which would be their mother tongue! Btw don’t be so hard on yourselves! You have done really well!
You DO have a amazing living room 🎉 what a beautiful way to live 🎉🎉🎉 When I’m coming to Thailand again, I’m definitely Insha’Allah coming to pay you a visit
Thanks! Do you believe it? That beautiful living room used to be the parking lot under our house. But with a bit of love and some nice furniture, cushions and plants, it was transformed.
I need to take this in consideration! I speak bahasa melayu and my partner speak english! I love listening to Mon speak bahasa even it’s with a difference dialect, i still understand it! Aaron give me a water bottle that said ‘Aku cinta Padamu’ but he never said it to me, it’s always in english 🤣 but he did call me ‘Sayang’ means -love
Thank you for your video Maayan! You are meant to be a great storyteller 🤍 Somehow I feel most comfortable to say the word ‘ LOVE’ in Thai & I feel the emotions as well , that feeling doesn’t exist in other languages I know. Thai isn’t my mother tongue ,but I fell in love with Thai Language , esp during the trip to Phuket 2 months ago. ฉันชอบภาษาไทยมาก ๆ เลยนะคะ Indeed, Cantonese is my Native language. I also fluent in English and Mandarin out of the education system here in HONG KONG.🤪 I really looking forward to visiting Koh Lanta someday 🏝️ Thank you for your videos!!!
Hallo mooie fam. Ik ben van Suriname, vroeger kolonie van Holland. Mijn grootouders waren van Java, Indonesië. Ze waren immigranten. Ik praat goed nederlands, javaans, sranang-tongo en engels hebben we op school geleerd en spaans. Thuis praten we van alles een beetje. Ik wens jullie heel veel geluk in jullie leven. Ik heb ook mix kinderen. (Afro mix javaans). Ik ben al een paar keren naar Holland gegaan. Heb zusters daar, en veel andere families.
Dit was interessant om te zien ! Zelf zeg ik : Ik hou van je, en gezien er in Nederland veel engels wordt gesproken hoor je ook veel: love you. Ik hou van je, klinkt voor mij meer serieus en love you is wat speelser. Zo leuk te horen dat liedje " "olifantje in het bos" Haar uitspraak is mooi!
I speak modern American English and Spanish and minimal French (from studying). I can understand other languages minimally as well just from exposure. I love expressing deep feelings in Spanish. The Spanish language has remained mostly unchanged so it has remained in its ancient form mostly. So consequently I feel it has more depth to it and I can feel More things from that language.
Great video! It is hard work to keep kids multilingual. I can see it in Australia every day, expat children switch to English too quickly and many can't speak their native languages. It takes a lot of consistency from parents, but you are on the right way :) Your kids go to Thai school so they are bilingual anyway and if you really want they will be fluent in Duch too. Our kids speak Estonian at home and English elsewhere, unfortunately, we don't have any more languages to give them. Love your dance :D
My opinion here is that you live in Thailand and probably will be there for life so the children need to learn Thai. They already know English. God Bless the family.
Hi Mon en Mayaan. Ik ben geboren en woon in Suriname - Zuid Amerika🇸🇷 voormalig kolonie van Nederland. Onze taal is Nederlands dus op ook school. Verder hebben wij de takie takie dat is Creools, afkomstig van de toenmalige slaven. Dan hebben wij de immigranten uit India en hieruit de Hindostanen met hun Hindi taal, uit Indonesia de Javanen die Javaans spreken, een dialect uit Solo Indonesia en uit China de Chinezen. De originele bevolking de inheemsen - Indianen hebben hun eigen taal. Gemengde bevolking, verschillende culturen en geloof Hindoe, Moslim en Christenen. Iedereen in Suriname verstaat en spreekt Engels. Onze volkstaalis de taki taki. I love you❤ Taki taki = mie lobi joe Javaans = Aku seneng koweh
Milli and Manu's English are exceptional considering how they are growing up in Thailand with multi-lingual parents 🥰 But I wonder how they are doing in Thai school if they don't know Thai well? In any case, they are smart kids and I'm certain they will become fluent in no time and I agree with mon that they live in Thailand and therefore should know the language well. I think this online speaking course is such a great idea and very affordable for most people, too. BTW, love your goofy dances😆😍
I'm a pilipino my husband is a malaysian but we talk in english language but slowly i learn to speak and understand malay language but him never battered to learn tagalog.
Hoi hoi ... Wederom een boeiende aflevering. Jullie kinderen kunnen zeer zeker meerdere talen meekrijgen. Blijf ze in het Nederlands aanspreken. Italki is een top systeem om je bij te staan ! Wel "consequent blijven" ... zodat de Nederlandse taal weer wordt opgepikt😉. Wat leuk om de schattige beelden van jullie kinderen als baby-peuter-kleuter te zien. Je volgers hebben je zwangerschap en de Baby-Peuter-Kleuter periode misgelopen. Groetjes uit Aruba ... ❤️
That was very cute. Please keep your daughter practicing Dutch. She will retain it. I learned basic Mandarin during my 8years in Taiwan and I am trying hard to retain it. She will make it. Keep letting her hear the language being spoken daily. You can do it.
being consistent is hard. our children speak 3 language fluently. it was not easy for me to speak english/Bahasa Malaysia every two weeks until the children 4 years old..the children use to speak whatever language they like..replied to us is any language they like...it was like I'm the one who's learning the language...my husband speak Arabic only to them..by 5 years old they started school and I don't have to be to hard on myself anymore...no we don't sit and teach...we just speak the language...(we live in Malaysia)
You both are very loving parents 🎉. Milie and Manu are very lucky to have you both as parents Subhan’Allah Parents’ love is ( as I see it) the sold rock for kid’s entire existence and their emotion well being it’s so crucially important and you both (in my eyes) if it so well! Bravo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I made note of the ITALKI and the promo code as I would like to learn Spanish before I die beings I live in Phoenix Arizona where like over half are Mexican and the grocery stores half the stuff written in Spanish. Thank you.
❤ Lovely kids! I might visit you in the future. On se verra peut-être au '' Green Pepper''. C'est magnifique de visionner vos vidéos qui sont très très bien faits. Khob khun kha ! 🙏
Great video folks. Don't feel bad, the kids understand THREE languages! Wow, I'm sure they'll speak them all in time. And congratulations on a paid promo that you're actually getting benefit from. Nicely done. All the best.
Don't be discouraged when the kids always answer in englisch! I'm half thai and half german and up until I was 12 I almost always answered in german even though my mother only spoke thai to me. When I decided to speak more thai with my mom I had very little trouble since I was already surrounded by the language anyways. They will also eventually realize that they have a secret language that most people don't understand which is also fun 😆😈 Just continue talking to them and don't feel awkward when you're the only person in a conversation who is talking in different language. It's a small inconvenience in trade for a big gift 💜
It’s still English as my first choice to express my love to my mum but it’s Thai language to express my love to dad. We ain’t a multi languages family , just when I was a kid those were the languages I heard from respective parent mostly 😊 If I have my own children someday, I’d wish my partner and I will be able to raise them with different languages ❤ #ChiheseSpeakingFamily #MalaysianChinese
Aku , kami , kita juga suka pada content kalian ber2-berdua , like-love you both n family too , all languea you both choose to learning for your kid is all best choose n important , tetap sehat , vit stamina untuk kalian ber2 , terus dengan ide2 creatifnya , stay safe , keep healty , salam-greetings-menyapa from jkrt
Interesting episode! But do you also teach them Hebrew? If not, why not? It is GREAT for kids to learn lots of languages! And English is good for worldwide! Thai is good for Thailand!

Time and place makes a difference. My Yiddish speaking grandparents came to the United States in the 1920's. My father came home from kindergarten crying because the other kids made fun of his speaking and he never spoke Yiddish again. When I would ask him how to say something in Yiddish, he would always emphatically state that he did not speak Yiddish. Yet when my grandfather spoke to my father in Yiddish, beyond the simple Yiddish I picked up, my father would understand. Small town USA for many years was not accepting of "foreigners" and "foreign languages"; you had to speak "American" and be an "American".
Mon has dz happy gene that he pass over to his wife, kids and even da viewers Stay blessed fam!!
I’m half Malaysian half Thai(mom from south thailand) and I only speak two languages English and Malay.. mom never teach me and my siblings to speak in Thai but now I’m learning Thai so that I can speak with my Thai side of the family. ❤
You are wonderful parents , and love is the most beautiful language of all
I usually hate paid promotion videos, but Mon saying that the Dutch language was "so funny yet disgusting at the same time" made it all worth it. So funny!🤣🤣
My family and I believe the more languages and dialects one can master, it’s better. You enhance your self worth and marketability when you’re looking for employment. So my family of 5 speaks Hokkien - father tongue, Cantonese - Easy to pick up if living in Kuala Lumpur like us as everybody uses Cantonese, Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia and English - all acquired from government school while growing up. Total 5 languages/dialects. Unfortunately nobody pick up Mother’s tongue - Shanghainese because wife herself not fluent in the dialect herself. In short, the more the better. ❤️ from 🇲🇾
Work in progress for us, but you will see on the vlog...
I'm from South Africa, grew up in Namibia, was raised with Afrikaans and English, with an understanding of German and Dutch. I feel the same as Mon, to say "I love you" ... Instead of "Ek het jou lief" just feel like I've expressed my feelings better than in Afrikaans. I mix my languages all the time😂 Lovely kids, they'll be OK, practise makes perfect. Greetings from Cape Town❤

Thank you so much! They go to a Thai governmen school on the island now which is not the greatest educational institution but at least they get to learn Thai a lot. Hopefully we can keep the Thai even if one day we choose another school for them. Where do you live now btw? And where did you grow up?
@@SweetLifeLanta That’s great! All the best to their language learning journey.

@@invinciblemoon4880 sounds great! I totally understand your journey. And yes thanks! I will be more strict with my kids so they can learn Thai as a native. It would be such a shame especially because we are very connected to Thailand. Hope to see you here one day! And I'm making another language video soon!
Some people are more comfortable speaking English even when they were raised in households with multiple languages. I'm sure that's with any language. You guys are doing awesome!!!❤
Because english is most common and you can communication fast.
OMG, learning the native languages is so important. My mom came to the US in the 70s and never taught me her language. I couldn't communicate with my aunts and uncles as well as I would have liked. As an adult, I try to pass Visayan to my children but without anyone to talk to, it is really hard. Just try and try to pass it on.
This one is going to be very interesting. I speak French, my husband Nepali and we speak to each others in English. It's difficult to know which approach is the best. My husband speaks 100% Nepali with our 3 years old. But living in Nepal, my son refuses to speak french as there is 'no need' and nobody speak french here. I end up speaking English to him because he ignores me when I speak French. Multi language is a gift but it's tough and tricky. I am eager to know more and if you have some advises. Waiting for this video !! 😊
Yeah it's definitely an interesting dilemma that we all have in our international relationship! And you will see that we are not experts, I can only tell you what we did NOT do well, hahaha... I checked out your channel BTW, I like it! Hope we get to collaborate one day.
@@SweetLifeLanta looking forward to see the video! And yes i would love to collab one day ☺️
In my opinion you should still speak French to all your children. Children picks up their mother’s tongue easily when the grow up and will only appreciate the assets when they grow up. We as parents know what is best for our children. ( See my own comment in the comment section )
@@UncleDougDeli why in the world would you pick French.?? That’s not even one of the ones they’re working on . . .
@@joannego856 Actually I am replying to ParisMeetsKatmandu about teaching her children French but I accidentally posted it onto SweetLifeLanta. Posted wrongly.
I think for now Thai and English. Later they can pick up Dutch and what ever they want . I am coming form a similar background and we choose teach those language where we lived and live. Which is Swiss German and English. But make sure that they get a good general education as well. Especially you Maayan, you probably got a strong general education that you want pass on the kids.. they are beautiful and living their best childhood. Thanks to their parents.
You children are very lucky. They have a wonderful life and will learn different languages and cultures. They are very happy children
I envy people that can speak more than 2 languages. I was brought up with both English and Malay since I was able to talk. My son speaks English, Malay & Japanese. Will ask him to use italki to learn mandarin using your code 😊 we use more English at home, so it's I love you.
Hoi lieve familie!! Our friend living 1/2 time in Thailand didn't want to learn Dutch to his child; Thai, German, English and now it's becoming a bitter, sad situation because the only grand child can't communicate with his grand ma. It's never too late and children learning fast, as a game. It's important for them, all family's members as well as social contacts. You give them a plus, not only with the languages but with the different cultures attached with. Veel groetjes uit zeelland!
Happy Father's Day Mon. Mayaan I am Joyce one of your subscribers from Jamaica.Blessings🇯🇲
As a pre-school teacher in South Africa, every child learns about 3 languages.. English.. Afrikaans and either Xhosa or Zulu. They learn this quicker and easier than adults..they also tend to mix it together when small but separate each language when they are school ready.
It was so lovely to see the children as very small ones. Ive always wanted to see how cute they were and a bit of your family life before you began sweet life lanta. God bless you ❤
Such a great episode ❤ So accessible, but this video should be added to resource lists for applied linguistics courses 😊 Thank you, I’m going to use this in my work with multilingual students & parents 🙏
This topic is so interesting! Mon needing to find a language for love because his mother-tongue, does not contain the emotional connection he needs to express his feelings. On the other hand, Maayan growing up in a multi-lingual home and trying to pick her language of love. I have to say, that you, Maayan, sound much more relaxed speaking Dutch.
I had a similar problem, trying to choose a language with my daughter, as a bilingual sigle mom. My mother tongue is Hebrew but my father's tongue is English. I chose English, but it wasn't easy. It took time to feel natural as a love language. So I can really relate to what you're talking about in this video...❤
Hi Maayan 👋. I can completely relate with your children. My family is from Puerto Rico and everyone in my family; Mom, brother, & grandparents speak fluent Spanish. I can understand Spanish, but when it comes to replying that's another story. Growing up my parents mostly spoke English with me. Now I'm living in the Dominican Republic with my husband who also speaks Spanish & I find myself stuck not being able to speak anymore than the basics. I wouldn't blame yourself and Mon., sometimes languages are harder to pick up for some children then others and as an adult I can tell you it's still a challenge. You and your family are lovely and thanks so much for sharing your story 🤍
your daughter’s bangs are so cuteee it totally suits her i swear
Loved the dancing!!
Your lives are such a beautiful adventure. When I watch your family, I always feel so much joy at seeing your journey. Thank you for sharing with all of us and being so authentic. Much love to all of you. ♥
Omg this video was adorable! I am American and my husband is Vietnamese. We live in the US and have two kids. Since the beginning, my husband only speaks Vietnamese with the kids. I speak mostly English but some Vietnamese. My mother-in-law also lives with us and she cannot speak English so she only speak Vietnamese. I think this balance of the two languages is what made us successful. If we had a third language in the mix, it would surely be difficult. But I totally understand about the English exposure during covid because my husband and I only speak English to each other. If we didn't have his dedication to speak Vietnamese and my MIL help we would fail!
Beautiful, thanks for coming into our channel and sharing your story! Hope to see more comments from you in the future!
Congratulations on the promotion Maayan!!! So proud of you guys! I will use the code and this program bec i want to take my duolingo spanish up a notch but need someone to talk to so thank you!
I grew up speaking Yiddish and English equally here in NY (learned Hebrew later) and i speak to my 5 yr old son both languages since hes born since its really important to me that hes able to communicate with his grandparents and cousins that dont speak English. When he was younger hed get annoyed sometimes and tell me to just speak English but i said no theyre both equally important and pushed on. During a conversation ill switch languages in middle of a sentence just to keep him on his toes lol. He began learning Hebrew in school when he was 3 so hopefully hell know all 3 fluently. Keep up the good work!!
Wow that's pretty amazing! Yiddish and Hebrew! And then you are studying Spanish. Awesome Esti!
You guys are doing a good job . I think Millie will good at speaking Dutch. ❤
My family is from Cambodia. I speak Khmer. I am like Mon we didn’t grow up saying I love you expressing emotions and all especially in the language Khmer. I am thankful that I am fluent and can speak it. Even until this day I say I love you to my Mom in English because it feels more natural and pure.
Thanks for the video Maayan and Mon. Sending you lots of hugs from California.
Bahasa To English
Saya means I
Cinta means Love
Mu or Anda means You
So, saya cinta mu
Or, saya cinta anda
means the same.
Millie is already showing signs to be good at Dutch.
Keep up all the good works 🎉❤
It reminds of my Philippines dialect. In my dialect, Cinta meaning Love and Saya, the meaning is happiness!
Hmm ' am so amazed 👍
My dialect is Pampango.
I am from the Northern part, Luzon, by Clark.
@@carmenklein6372 What a coincidence. I just finished chatting with my Filipino friend near Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Luzon a minute ago and she told me Magandang Gabi means good night 😴 She teaches me some Tagalog words from time to time.
Its wonderful the way you raise them, in connection with natural environment. Your house doesnt have windows….Its a giant step to a 21 century young human being !!! Of course, communication, being an important issue, language(s) are of most importance also. But i am sure you are on an interessing path with your kids.
I’m very interested in this topic. My parents were Korean, my first mother tongue was Korean, later went to Chinese school and studied in Japan. Currently I’m livening and working in Germany. So I speak automatically German and English. My kids speak German, Chinese as mother tongue. In the school they learn English, French and Latin. The older one is going to South Korea as an Exchange Student. For me any kind of languages is worth to learn. You both do amazing❤❤❤
Fantastic! Multi lingual. Polyglot.
In our small family the 3 of us jointly speak English, Thai, Lao, Khmer, Dutch, German, French and a little bit of Arabic and Spanish
We are a German/Thai Family and and we all speak in 3 Languages...
My Thai husband can speak German very well and a bit english and my Thai i think is not that bad (mostly south Thai🤭)..our son grew up with German and Thai but speak mostly German...and learn English later, because when he was younger he speak 3 Languages all in one and no one outside understand him😂...now he is grown up and start to speak Thai from himself because he want to...
But... i love you
we all say in English , i dont know why...🤔
🤣🤣🤣
Hello Maayan,
It didn’t happen at all like we had in mind as well. Multiple language is a tricky subject but you handle it so good. Regarding multiple languages, I think there is more to it and not fixed rules… We can only say what NOT to do, right? 😉
But what you do right is to DANCE WITH YOUR KIDS! 😜😊👌
You two are such a beautiful couple! And your children are gorgeous!
❤❤❤
I love you in all the languages of the world
❤❤❤
It's not a mistake to raise children speaking multi languages, as long as parents also knows these languages so they know if their children are speaking the truth. In our country, the Philippines, we have a national language (Filipino), but English is our second language. In addition to these two languages, we have also local dialects, depending upon the province we were raised. Your children are lucky to have you as their parents. God bless from the Philippines...
I say” I love you” following my mood 😂 that can be in Japanese,Portuguese,french,English,Korean 😂 wonderful video 🌸
Multilingual is ok ,.its beneficial ,.starting young is good👍🏻,.and time will lead their interest for craving for more
Zo geweldig hoe jullie jullie kinderen opvoeden..en wat moeilijk om diie talen door te drukken ..leuk ik verstond aku cinta pada mu .. zelf denk ik dat Engels toch de beste taal is voor ze en Thais omdat ze daar wonen ..ze hebben allebei een talenknobbel dus dat moet met de keuze om Nederlands of Bahasa te leren spreken ,niet moeilijk zijn later..Je gevoelens uiten ,ja ,in mijn geval toch in het Nederlands omdat ik opgevoed ben met die taal ..Maar wel mooi om te zien hoe zij zich ontwikkelen..Ga zo door ..deze kleine mensen worden wereldburgers en jullie zijn Toppers ❤ groetjes, LouLou..mama van Chai..
We speak 3 languages in school, Chinese mandarin, English, Filipino, & Cantonese’s at home growing up in the Philippines. we are smart young kids light a new computer, we have no problems in the society. Good for your children .
Mon's dialect of Bahasa sounds like Bahasa Kelantan. I was born in Kelantan but don't understand much of what he's saying (i only understand standard bahasa). really cool that there are communities in thailand that speak it.
Im from Terengganu but both parents are from Kelantan of Pattani descent, and I can understand what he's saying pretty well 😂
I always think I would love to learn another language instead of just speaking English! I loved this video you did ! I love you all ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Çocuklar yuvanın ailenin geleceği. Maşallah harikalar evlatlarınız. Tanrı onları korusun.🙏
I speak only English but would love to learn Turkish ‘ you both are doing a great job in raising your kids
My husband is Belgian. I’m a Malay. He speaks Dutch with the kids since they were born. Malaysian,s second language is English. I speak English with them. They speak Bahasa with my family ( a broken version). They learn French, Chinese and German is school. Since our kids goes to French , they speak French amongst them. I love it the fact they speaks multiple language. My 15 years old travelled alone to Vienna recently for exchange student and her live is so full because she speaks multiple languages I feel that this is the best assets that we could give to our kids. They have huge opportunities out there because of they are multilingual. Beesten met u kindere. Het is noot te laat.
In Suriname in Sranan Tongo we say "Mi Lobi Yu" (I Love You). Sranan Tongo is a language which everyone speaks and understands. Even when you are a foreigner, the language can be quickly learned. I'm a mix of Javanese, Jewish (German) en Afro-Surinamese. I speak fluently Dutch (that's the mother language in Suriname) and English. Beside that a little Bahasa, Javanese, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic en other languages, because Suriname is a mix of people coming from all over the world. I love your channel, especially the kids! Greetings from Suriname!
Such a well made video! I'm interested in seeing how the kids Dutch is over time.
Awww your kids are so cute learning other languages I would just keep speaking to them regularly in the languages you want them to learn and they will pick it up :). I think I will feel your struggle when I have a baby. My first language is English, my husband's first language is Tamil and I am a language enthusiast and also speak Spanish very well so I would like my child to speak English, Spanish, and Tamil. I want to enroll them in a bilingual English/Spanish program at school. But I always tell my husband you have to talk a lot to our future baby in Tamil (my husband is a quiet person) or they won't be able to speak to their grandma. I try learning Tamil but it is very difficult but I will keep trying. My husband speaks fluent English so we have always used English to communicate. Good luck!!! It is amazing to be able to speak multiple languages. I am a language teacher and language learner it is my passion.
You seem so free and cool love your energy don't worry your kids will learn more everyday don't push it and enjoy the process :)
Bahasa Indonesia kamu bagus
Leuk om jullie in het Nederlands te horen praten. En goed van je om de kinderen ook Nederlands te leren spreken. ❤👍 Vergeten te zeggen. Lieve groeten uit Holland❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷
Gezellig dat je er bent!
Wow I love how your teaching them different languages. I’m going to check that link out.
Love how you guys interact with each other ❤
And the dancing 💃🏻
Well with my kids I speak English and with my parents and siblings in Spanish and English. 😊
Haaaa... Couldn't wait for this two😁✌️
Hello! I think that your kids are doing really well with the assorted languages! I guess I would want my children to speak the languages that one could communicate with loved ones and two that would assist in their success. In Canada it’s best to speak English and French and many immigrants would have a third language which would be their mother tongue! Btw don’t be so hard on yourselves! You have done really well!
Such a lively family. Loved the dance. Love from Malaysia
You DO have a amazing living room 🎉 what a beautiful way to live 🎉🎉🎉
When I’m coming to Thailand again, I’m definitely Insha’Allah coming to pay you a visit
Thanks! Do you believe it? That beautiful living room used to be the parking lot under our house. But with a bit of love and some nice furniture, cushions and plants, it was transformed.
In English to my American stepson and in Dutch to my Dutch son, though he is totally bilingual. I brought him over when he was 9. 🇳🇱💕🌷
Ek is lief vir jou, Afrikaans. Julle is n voorbeeld dat liefde Ken geen grense. Keep it burning❤
I need to take this in consideration! I speak bahasa melayu and my partner speak english! I love listening to Mon speak bahasa even it’s with a difference dialect, i still understand it! Aaron give me a water bottle that said ‘Aku cinta Padamu’ but he never said it to me, it’s always in english 🤣 but he did call me ‘Sayang’ means -love
Thank you for your video Maayan! You are meant to be a great storyteller 🤍
Somehow I feel most comfortable to say the word ‘ LOVE’ in Thai & I feel the emotions as well , that feeling doesn’t exist in other languages I know.
Thai isn’t my mother tongue ,but I fell in love with Thai Language , esp during the trip to Phuket 2 months ago.
ฉันชอบภาษาไทยมาก ๆ เลยนะคะ
Indeed, Cantonese is my Native language. I also fluent in English and Mandarin out of the education system here in HONG KONG.🤪
I really looking forward to visiting Koh Lanta someday 🏝️
Thank you for your videos!!!
Hallo mooie fam. Ik ben van Suriname, vroeger kolonie van Holland. Mijn grootouders waren van Java, Indonesië. Ze waren immigranten. Ik praat goed nederlands, javaans, sranang-tongo en engels hebben we op school geleerd en spaans. Thuis praten we van alles een beetje. Ik wens jullie heel veel geluk in jullie leven. Ik heb ook mix kinderen. (Afro mix javaans). Ik ben al een paar keren naar Holland gegaan. Heb zusters daar, en veel andere families.
Ah wat leuk! Dan vind je mijn laatste video vast ook heel leuk, kijk maar:
ruclips.net/video/myuBqxuYG28/видео.htmlsi=U-n2PIJyNGVAjbDi
Dit was interessant om te zien ! Zelf zeg ik : Ik hou van je, en gezien er in Nederland veel engels wordt gesproken hoor je ook veel: love you. Ik hou van je, klinkt voor mij meer serieus en love you is wat speelser. Zo leuk te horen dat liedje " "olifantje in het bos" Haar uitspraak is mooi!
I speak modern American English and Spanish and minimal French (from studying). I can understand other languages minimally as well just from exposure. I love expressing deep feelings in Spanish. The Spanish language has remained mostly unchanged so it has remained in its ancient form mostly. So consequently I feel it has more depth to it and I can feel
More things from that language.
Deux parents remplis d'intelligence, de naturel et sensibilité pour une merveilleuse jolie petite famille...
Je vous aime 💝💝💝💝💝
Great video! It is hard work to keep kids multilingual. I can see it in Australia every day, expat children switch to English too quickly and many can't speak their native languages. It takes a lot of consistency from parents, but you are on the right way :) Your kids go to Thai school so they are bilingual anyway and if you really want they will be fluent in Duch too. Our kids speak Estonian at home and English elsewhere, unfortunately, we don't have any more languages to give them.
Love your dance :D
Lovely video guys, lovely topic!
Love from Israel ❤
My opinion here is that you live in Thailand and probably will be there for life so the children need to learn Thai. They already know English. God Bless the family.
Hi Mon en Mayaan. Ik ben geboren en woon in Suriname - Zuid Amerika🇸🇷 voormalig kolonie van Nederland. Onze taal is Nederlands dus op ook school. Verder hebben wij de takie takie dat is Creools, afkomstig van de toenmalige slaven. Dan hebben wij de immigranten uit India en hieruit de Hindostanen met hun Hindi taal, uit Indonesia de Javanen die Javaans spreken, een dialect uit Solo Indonesia en uit China de Chinezen. De originele bevolking de inheemsen - Indianen hebben hun eigen taal. Gemengde bevolking, verschillende culturen en geloof Hindoe, Moslim en Christenen. Iedereen in Suriname verstaat en spreekt Engels. Onze volkstaalis de taki taki.
I love you❤
Taki taki = mie lobi joe
Javaans = Aku seneng koweh
Milli and Manu's English are exceptional considering how they are growing up in Thailand with multi-lingual parents 🥰 But I wonder how they are doing in Thai school if they don't know Thai well? In any case, they are smart kids and I'm certain they will become fluent in no time and I agree with mon that they live in Thailand and therefore should know the language well. I think this online speaking course is such a great idea and very affordable for most people, too. BTW, love your goofy dances😆😍
It's never too late for the kids to learn another language. My kids, are tri lingual and they read and write English and Arabic too. 😊
I'm a pilipino my husband is a malaysian but we talk in english language but slowly i learn to speak and understand malay language but him never battered to learn tagalog.
Anxiously waiting ❤❤
Wat grappig...om dit te zien...is fijn om alle talen te kunnen spreken....
Seeing you dance made me so happy :D !
God Bless you all forever.
Hoi hoi ...
Wederom een boeiende aflevering.
Jullie kinderen kunnen zeer zeker meerdere talen meekrijgen.
Blijf ze in het Nederlands aanspreken.
Italki is een top systeem om je bij te staan !
Wel "consequent blijven" ... zodat de Nederlandse taal weer wordt opgepikt😉.
Wat leuk om de schattige beelden van jullie kinderen als baby-peuter-kleuter te zien.
Je volgers hebben je zwangerschap en de Baby-Peuter-Kleuter periode misgelopen.
Groetjes uit Aruba ... ❤️
Iteresting and funny family and sweet.👍
When I say I love you to my Ma, I do say it in Philippine native dialect.
That was very cute. Please keep your daughter practicing Dutch. She will retain it. I learned basic Mandarin during my 8years in Taiwan and I am trying hard to retain it. She will make it. Keep letting her hear the language being spoken daily. You can do it.
being consistent is hard. our children speak 3 language fluently. it was not easy for me to speak english/Bahasa Malaysia every two weeks until the children 4 years old..the children use to speak whatever language they like..replied to us is any language they like...it was like I'm the one who's learning the language...my husband speak Arabic only to them..by 5 years old they started school and I don't have to be to hard on myself anymore...no we don't sit and teach...we just speak the language...(we live in Malaysia)
I think a mother language is not just a language coz it goes deeper than that !!
I think u shoul teach the Thai + your mother language ❤🎉
If they speak good English and Thai that’s enough Those are the languages they hear the most😘
In my language I would say Aku sayang Mama.. its a contextual translation of I love you mum..
You both are very loving parents 🎉. Milie and Manu are very lucky to have you both as parents Subhan’Allah
Parents’ love is ( as I see it) the sold rock for kid’s entire existence and their emotion well being it’s so crucially important and you both (in my eyes) if it so well! Bravo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It was a good mistake! Your kids are awesome because of it! Life is always an experiment anyways, so good on you guys! 🙂
Can't wait!!!! ❤
I made note of the ITALKI and the promo code as I would like to learn Spanish before I die beings I live in Phoenix Arizona where like over half are Mexican and the grocery stores half the stuff written in Spanish. Thank you.
Ik heb jullie pas ontdekt op YT, erg leuke video’s !
❤ Lovely kids! I might visit you in the future. On se verra peut-être au '' Green Pepper''. C'est magnifique de visionner vos
vidéos qui sont très très bien faits. Khob khun kha ! 🙏
A happy dancing family, too!
I can’t wait to try the Hebrew language. Toda Raba! 🙏
We say I love you in Latvian language.
Great video folks. Don't feel bad, the kids understand THREE languages! Wow, I'm sure they'll speak them all in time. And congratulations on a paid promo that you're actually getting benefit from. Nicely done. All the best.
Don't be discouraged when the kids always answer in englisch! I'm half thai and half german and up until I was 12 I almost always answered in german even though my mother only spoke thai to me. When I decided to speak more thai with my mom I had very little trouble since I was already surrounded by the language anyways.
They will also eventually realize that they have a secret language that most people don't understand which is also fun 😆😈
Just continue talking to them and don't feel awkward when you're the only person in a conversation who is talking in different language. It's a small inconvenience in trade for a big gift 💜
We use Te Amo (spanish)
เด็กๆโตขึ้นเก่งมากๆ ค่ะ น่ารักทุกๆคนค่ะ
It’s still English as my first choice to express my love to my mum but it’s Thai language to express my love to dad. We ain’t a multi languages family , just when I was a kid those were the languages I heard from respective parent mostly 😊 If I have my own children someday, I’d wish my partner and I will be able to raise them with different languages ❤
#ChiheseSpeakingFamily #MalaysianChinese

Don’t worry they will learn all the languages gradually!
Interesting episode! But do you also teach them Hebrew? If not, why not? It is GREAT for kids to learn lots of languages! And English is good for worldwide! Thai is good for Thailand!
