I have
finally finished 6 katinig or consonants out of 15! Still a long way to go I know
but hey I am doing it in between mum and wife duties, not to mention being a host
to guests coming over from the city!
There are two
things that make it quite difficult to finish the katinig series. One is making
sure that the words included are easy for kindergarteners or beginning Filipino
learners to remember. I also want the words included to be used on daily conversations
or simple sentences. The other difficulty I encountered is the translation from
Filipino to English. There are some words that do not have direct translation
or have double meanings. Other words, on the other hand do not have clipart
that are readily available so I have to look for the best clipart that will fit
the word.
What makes doing the worksheets and picture
dictionaries a fun process is Sam’s interest in the language. When I am at my
laptop editing the katinig series, Sam loves to peek and read the words listed
on the picture dictionaries. One time she said to me, "Bata." I asked her, “What’s
bata?” She answered back, “Kid.” And then she said, “Ang mga bata go the
eskuwela.” (The kids go to school.) And I was extremely surprised that she was
able to make use of our lessons!
So every time
she thinks and reads a word, she would always say to me, “Apple is…”
which means, “Mama what is apple in Filipino?” And I am one proud teacher mama!
