Why is this a phenomenon? There are African toddlers who can speak three languages by the time they are three or four years old. . . .including English! Where are the videos highlighting that as a phenomenon? I'm so tired of seeing the trope of the blk maid or blk nanny who dotes on the children of the wht family that she serves more than she dotes on her own children.
That’s because only Americans have obsessive complexion mentality. Usually the ones who claim everyone is racist are the very ones obsessed with race. The rest of the world just lives America needs to grow up.
My son speaks Kiswahili fluently, as well as English in school, and some Norwegian with me. He also knows a little bit of Maa language (Maasai). But he is big (7 years). His little half-sister also speaks those languages. Funny that some expressions in Xhosa apparently can be somehow understood by a Kiswahili speaker, such as me. "Kushushu" means warm in Xhosa (according to 4:42 in the video). It is funny because "Ushuzi" means "fart" in Swahili. Prefixet "Ku-" makes it a verb, and if only "u-" as a prefix, it is the fart itself. Very similar sounds! And somehow similar meaning in a funny way!
