Hi! (Please excuse my English, I’m a French speaker so it’s not perfect).
Context: I live in Europe and my native language is French. My husband was born in Europe to Thai parents. He speaks Thai with them (and they don't speak French very well), but at home, we speak French.
I’m pregnant, and we want to teach Thai to our child since it’s the grandparents' language. However, I see a few challenges: first, my husband isn't perfectly bilingual. Since he has always lived in Belgium, his Thai is basic—mostly conversational. For example, he doesn't know 'baby vocabulary' like stroller or diaper. He also isn't used to speaking Thai at home; he only uses it with his family.
I'm looking for resources to help my husband teach Thai to the baby, such as picture books, talking toys (to learn colors, numbers, etc.), or audiobooks.
One more detail: My husband cannot read Thai, so he can't read a traditional Thai book to the baby. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
