[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475305, member: 11227"] Really, Janet? I would have thought that was more the speech of a 3 year old, but I take your word for it. The French 4/5 year olds I encounter are speaking perfectly grammatically - whether this is something to do with the differences between French and English (French is much more logical and structured so maybe easier for a child to acquire the rules unconsciously??), I don't know. But I'm not really fussing about his language level. What concerns me more is that his mistakes are very stuck - no matter how many times I say back what he has said using the correct form, he simply does not (almost all of the time) acquire it. I don't think he has a speech delay in any way - like most hyperactive kids, he loves to chatter and will accompany me everywhere in the house with a running commentary :) [/QUOTE]
