My Name Is Mouse

When my youngest daughter and my husband come home, my oldest daughter and I can notice it easily.
Because my youngest daughter runs and screams with laughing, she makes our apartment noisy.
That day, she entered the room crying something strange, "My ネズミ bee!"
(ネズミ means "mouse" in Japanese. And bee is her nickname.)
I was puzzled and asked her, "Hello? Who are you?"
She replied cheerfully, "My Nehzumih bee!!"
And she sang a strange song dancing, "He-, shoda nida toh nida to-♪"
My oldest daughter guessed right.
It was this song.

When she speaks strange language, it is the day that an English teacher visits her nursery school.
I think children should learn their own mother tongue first.
But it is OK that they enjoy their English time.
What do you think of it?

I agree with you, they will learn their mother language naturally. Their English lesson won't make it bad. However, I'm afraid their English lesson is too short and seldom. I think they wast their time if they have lesson only once a month. Frequently lessons will work enough.
あの先生の目的は、英語を教えるではなくて、ただ、英語を紹介するかもしれない。
I think that teacher's aim was not to teach English, but introduce it to them (at an early age).
それから、学校に入るときに、英語は馴染みになった。
So that when they enter high school, English will be familiar to them.
Yes, they may just want to introduce English. It is OK that children just have fun. If they think it is a lesson, it won't work well I think.
crying something strange, is OK.It means what is little lovely girl cried is strange,i think.
But I do agree that children learn best while playing :) they don't have the attention span or patience to sit through some boring lesson.
Since East Asian languages are so differ form European ones, we, especially Japanese, may be worrying about teaching our children other language.
長女はDVDで英語を勉強していますが、それはいいと思います。I think it is OK that my oldest daughter learns English by DVD. 彼女は勉強する意味が分かっているし、やりたくてやっているからです。Because she knows what study is and she wants to learn it.
It is great that your daughter is learning English from DVDs. My daughter has been learning some words, letters, and numbers from Sesame Street :)
