I want to eat

Leilani actually said that yesterday. Not “want num-num” not “I want some eatin” (which worried me a little, she had used that one for almost a month :-) Her sentences in English are getting better, she seems to have learned quite a few grammer rules, but in German she is still lumping words together.
A week or so ago I tested her ability to keep the languages apart – I let her “read” one of these “First Words” books, that have photos of objects and per photo just one word. I prompted in English “What is this?” “What do you see here?” and she got almost 100% right. When we were through the book we started over, only this time I asked in German, she answered at least 70% correct and in German.
