As you may remember, one of my New Year's resolutions for 2010 was to learn how to count to 100. Well, I'm glad to report that even though we're just a bit more than a quarter way into the new year, I'm more than half way to my goal...
Some of you may notice two things in the video:
1. I'm counting in Polish;
2. I'm only counting to 29, which is technically less than 1/3 of the way to 100, not half way.
As to point #1 - my resolution never stated which language I'd learn to count in, so I picked Polish as the one to get started. And as to point #2, the way I figure it, I'm more than half way to my goal because I already learned the hardest parts: the single digits through 10, the teens through 20, and the structure of counting 20-29. Now all I have to learn are the numbers on the tens, ie, 30, 40, 50... and on through 90 (that's what Daddy is helping me with in the video; the last one that I do by myself is "sto", or 100, which I learned a long time ago because I thought it sounded funny when I say it really loud.) Anyway, learning the 10's can't be that hard, can it?
So now with my goal in sight and my confidence built up a little, I'm thinking of upping the ante a bit, and either:
- trying to learn to count to 100 in Polish by half-way through the year (that would be by June 30, which as it happens is Mommy's birthday and I'm thinking that would make a great birthday present);
- or trying to learn to count to 100 in all three of my languages - English, Cantonese and Polish - by the end of the year.
Which do you think I should do? (And don't say both, since I need to also set aside plenty of time and energy for much harder resolutions, like numbers 1, 3 and 6...)
