So I did both, after counting in English, we count in Filipino. I also give him the Filipino translation because admittedly, I speak to Aori in English (except the hubby at first - bakit kaya sila ganon, no?) I also agree that its easier to learn Filipino than English, rather than the other way around. I've proved it amongst my friends where their children, find the Filipino subject difficult. So don't worry mommy, English shows, books and a parent talking to him and Z will be all set :) My sister works in Aori’s school and one of things she advised when he was born was to NOT forget about Tagalog, which sadly but true, is not the first Language we teach our children.

My older daughter is fluent in both language. Be proud to be bilingual, but be fluent in our own language first. :) Children learn English language naturally.
