Bilingualism can have amusing consequences.
There's a Danish rhyme Thomas is forever singing to the kids that goes:
Hop, hop, hop, hop,
Hop, hop, hop, hop,
Ride, ride ranke,
Hesten hedder Abildgrå
Den skal Amaia ride på
Ride, ride ranke.
With Anna and Léon we had no particular issues, but Amaia has more difficulty with the Danish R sound so has taken to asking Thomas to sing it by shouting 'Daddy, can you sing Wanker, wanker!'
The first time she says it in public, I swear I am going to laugh!
