About La Mother Tongue


La Mother Tongue is my medium to share the joys and challenges of being a new parent as well as to share how we make a conscious effort in our daily life to bring baby up bilingual.

The Many Names of Tinker Bell

Today, Disney released its newest film in the Tinker Bell Disney Fairies Films, “The Secret of the Wings”.  I was honored and so very thrilled that I was asked to review the DVD for Spanglishbaby™.  While the review isn’t due out for a few more days, I wanted to share the Walt Disney Studios trailers of what I found to be an ESPECTACULAR movie!  As usual, Campanita rocks and Disney shines!  So until the review comes out and until you get your hot little hands on your own copy of “El Secreto de las Hadas”, enjoy the linguistic assortment below!

P.D.  Click HERE to read the review published on October 25, 2012 on SpanglishBaby!

El Día de las Brujas

El Día de las Brujas, Halloween, was strange this year in all aspects. 
Sofía dressed up as Campanita.  Here she is visiting Papi’s office.  

Our other fotos of Campanita got erased and since Papi went out of town, we didn’t get many other good fotos before we went pidiendo dulces (by ourselves—still a little bitter!). It snowed, yes, SNOWED, the day before Halloween in Northern Virginia. 


We had to make adjustments to the Campanita costume. 


Next year, I’m making a costume to go over the Winter coat.

Campanita

Sofía’s latest movie obsession is Campanita.  We discovered the movie on Youtube, probably by accident and she became so hooked that we actually made the purchase of the DVD.  I never knew who Campanita was before I met my husband (whose first word, I think, was "Disney"), but now I feel like una especialista in Tinkerology!  What we learned linguistically about Campanita is fascinating to me, the Language Nerdo.  We use the word, Campanita, but on Youtube, Sofía found a version of the película from España.  They don’t call her Campanita, but Campanilla.  What is even more interesting is the addition of the DVD.  The DVD uses Español from México.  They call her Tinkerbel! (Say it like Antonio Banderas!)  Sofía noticed the diferencias of course and asked about them.  I explained them to her and she decided that she liked to listen to the versión Española the best.  She uses the word Campanita and will watch the versión Méxicana, but sometimes she won’t!  ¡Increíble!
