Hey all, so I have been living in Japan a decade, have a job reading and writing in Japanese, can speak fine in conversations and such but it’s still my worst skill and I don’t practice enough.
Recently I have had a ton of friends have children and while babysitting I realized I really don’t know how people talk to babies. My go to is English of course and to use all kinds of cutesy, baby and child specific slang.
Any resources that you know of out there that could help me hear how real people talk to their babies and children? Maybe a YouTube channel of mom and baby groups or something? I really want to get better at this so I can speak to and understand all my new “nephews” as they grow up!
