Jessica Alba’s 15-month-old daughter is bilingual

WASHINGTON - American actress Jessica Alba has revealed that she is very keen on getting her 15-month-old daughter Honor to be able to speak both Spanish and English.

Alba, 28, who is of Mexican descent, has already started educating her daughter by singing songs.

“I am a mother who shoves information down her throat, poor thing. I sing her songs about colours in Spanish and English when I’m cooking. Literally I integrate learning into everything I do,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

“We’re into colours because I feel that’s something a 15 month old can sort of identify. So now she kind of points to blue and says ‘azul’ and I say ‘Yes, azul, muy bien!’ It’s slow going but she’s sort of picking it up.

“She says gato for cat. Pato for duck, but dog is dog. She doesn’t say perro. She kind of flips back and forth. She’s very silly. She growls like a lion whenever I say leon,” she added. (ANI)
