Yes I heard that too! One of the nursery teachers said hubby should speak to Logan in German all the time but he's not keen as he's not a native speaker and also Logan's so used to speaking to him in English. He'll pick it up in his own time, they all will! Logan's already understanding instructions in German like sit down or wash your hands. Yesterday he pointed at the fire engine in his Fireman Sam mag and said 'feuerwehr'! Actually means fire service but he got the idea right!!
