learning a new language

When I think about the fact that English has only been on his radar for about 9 months now I'm amazed...


This morning during school a new word was introduced. Nab. He sounded it out just fine but had no idea what it meant. So I demonstrated that it meant to take something quickly.  
He comes back with, "In movie last day, boy nab something to eat because he hungry."
And yes, we went to see The Greatest Showman yesterday and indeed Phineas does nab a loaf of bread from the market when he was hungry. Making connections and coming out with longer and longer sentences every day.  
If only Mandarin would come to me like that...
