If you've seen Friends, the conversations below might remind you of The One Where Joey Speaks French, where he can break French down by parts but can't use it in a whole sentence.
Preschooler K. likes to say, "I done!" when he's finished something, so I decided to try teaching him to say, "I'm done." Here's my first (I think) attempt:
K: "I done!"
Me: "You're done? Can you say, 'I'm done'?"
K: "I done."
Me: "Can you say, 'I'mmm done'?"
K: "I'mmm done."
Me: "Can you say it faster now? I'm done."
K: "I done."
haha! One day he'll get it. I love that kid.
Reminds me of my earlier conversation with E (he's not an English learner; he just has a little kid accent):
Me: "What color is this?"
E: "Ellow."
Me: "That's right. Yellow. Can you say, 'yellow'?"
E: "Ellow."
Me: "Okay. Can you say, 'yes'?"
E: "Yes."
Me: "Good. Now can you say, 'yyyellow.'? Yellow."
E: "Ellow!"
Haha...Eventually he started saying it correctly. I'm so happy.
