"Multilingualism stimulates brain development and helps children learn because they can think about their ideas in two (or more) languages. Speaking more than one language comes naturally to babies, whose brains are wired for all language."
Not to mention how essential of a part of a cultural identity and way of thinking it is! It would be very difficult for Annika to properly understand Finland and India (or her father’s part of India) if she didn’t learn the languages at a native level from birth. Many people don’t understand everything that languages are, or that I majored in linguistics and language learning/teaching in university - this is one field I actually super qualified to talk about and still read about language learning/multilingualism almost daily 🤓
@@JohannaNorth I’m sooo glad you replied here …I admire your patience and composure, I just couldn’t handle the ignorance of certain people on the matter, so had to post the above for everyone to see. Chose to post a quote because i was so aggravated that I couldn’t articulate what I wanted to say😄. Ofcourse what you have said above is the perfect befitting reply to all the nay sayers👏👏👏
Grandparents are such a blessing...the atmosphere became festive as soon as they arrived on the scene...Chemistry between grandparents and Annika is sooo amazing....❤❤
I don’t see being Indian or Finnish that different in the end, at least when it comes to the things that matter to me the most, like home, family and food - except maybe the use of spices and I’ve always loved Indian and overall more spicy food unlike what’s in traditional Finnish recipes 😅 I love love love Indian food, though now i miss Finnish food quite a bit too since I never get it 😋
It's a lovely video, Annika was carrying a bag, looking so beautiful, talking with mama, didi, grandparents and also kissing papa....so sweet, calling mama mama is so nice to listen and lastly your cooking of gajar ka halwa.... lovely ❤
Johanna's voice over is fantastic. It's like seeing some professionaly done documentary. Annika choses to answer in Hindi when mom speaks in Finnish language..she is one multilingual. So cute when she says "gussa", "Godi" etc. Nice.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the voiceover! Annika often prefers to speak in Hindi as basically all people around her speak it and at least understand it. She knows I understand it too, but by the time she turns 3 years, I’m gonna start teaching her that she should also speak to me in Finnish 😊
Hope Annika is feeling much better now. She's looking very pretty in all her suits. Being surrounded by all pleasant people, she's growing up to be pleasant and kind to everyone. Enjoy your stay in Jaipur. Have a wonderful time and happy belated birthday to Dada 🎉🎈.
The love and bond between Annika and dadu and dadi is so beautiful to see. What a blessing Annika's grandparents are and the innocence and playfulness that Annika shows is so precious. What a joy to watch Annika grow and develop into an adorable, inquisitive, very smart, playful and loving child. Johanna: You and Vinod are amazing parents. Thank you for your wonderful videos. 💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🤗🤗
You people are my inspiration. I've been watching you since my pregnancy and now my baby is almost one-and-a-half-year old. The way you are raising Annika is beautiful. I try to imbibe many things that I have learnt from your vlogs.
annika is so intelligent! she's mixing some finnish, hindi, and english. very adorable! she'll grow up to become a true multi-lingualist. (though she already is!)
I used to watch ur video but forgot the channel name was just thinking about this channel that ah I miss them... How can I now see them.... N see after weeks and weeks after out of no where this video got in my home page n I was like wow...... Today only I was remembering u ❤😅
I hope the illness was nothing more than a big change in climate or minor food issue Johanna. Hospital visits always raises concern. Good to see Dadi & Dadu again & Annika must really enjoy the reunion. Looking forward to the next video. Big hugs all around from uncle B.💋❤
It was some infection that Mommy and Daddy had got from their visit in the villages. It was a terrible ordeal and I wasn’t happy with the initial medical care, but once we got it sorted out Annika started recovering quickly and by now is perfectly well 😊❤
Nice to get a little break from the South Indian heat! It was pretty darn cold at night, but still 😅 It’s much more easier to enjoy the day and play together outside 😊
You FIL must have been very happy after that. Forget gifts, in India the elders dont even celebrate birthdays. I am sure your FIL would definitely have told your MIL happily about receiving gift from you after you left. I am sure your MIL would have been a bit jealous about it that she couldnt do something like that. Anyway , your MIL still made vegetable biriyani so that would have been negated all that. Anyway, you have scored many points in FIL's hearts. 😂😂😂
Well we dont usually get proper gifts like this either, but this time coming from Mumbai where we did a bit of shopping it was nice to come with a small gift too 😊 i don’t think that gifts are that important either, especially at this age, it’s more about being together and making the day special in some way! ❤️
She’s all fine now though 😊 getting sick even quite often is a normal part of childhood, even though it always feels bad to see your child sick and this was particularly scary due to not such great medical care 🥺
Sooooo nice to see dadu and dadi again ❤️. Would like to wish the very handsome and young dadu, belated happy birthday 🥳. The Gajjar ka halwa looked yummmm. Looking forward to more from Jaipur 💕
Annika is such a beautiful baby doll very intelligent kid. You are very cute adorable daughter in law and responsible person you’re in-law’s are very nice 👍🏻😊they love you and Annika so much cute adorable family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻🇺🇸
I never tired to observe Annika's innocent child behaviour. One of my hobby to watch abdcsee reactions of children in every kind of situations, circumstances. I enjoy. Thought of photo compilation of various reactions. Best wishes. Why don't you also explore North Eastern parts of India still unexplored for your own. I m sure you will enjoy it.
Annika has grown a bit more as compare to last year , she loves her doggo friends wherever she lives :) , she loves animals so much , I am waiting for your another Finland trip , I wanna see her with playing her aunt (your sister) and her finland exploring part :))
@@JohannaNorth I guess next year she might start her nursery school so , you won't be able to travel due to her school schedule and other things so, I think you must travel to Finland this year and release Annika to explore while walking on other side :)
Happy belated birthday dad. You such a special lady. I maje my halwa like urs only different I toast the nuts in the ghee n add saltana. 🎉❤God bless u all. I hope to meet u n ur family one day. Maybe when u visit south Africa.
It's always good to watch yr vlogs, each and every vlog teaches us some good & new things, your analysis of the things is just amazing, bonding between Cute Annika's & her grand parents is mind blowing, always be happy lot's of love and good wishes 👍🌹
No bad doggy it hurts my heart to see those dogs having to feed themselves( dog need people to feed them they can’t cook and go to grocery store) annika has a soft spot for them you can see it in her eyes I think she wants you to help feed some dogs 🐕
We were in Jaipur in December when this video was shot 😊 remembering those cold days fondly - our Kerala house is like a sauna these days and i cant imagine Jaipur being much better at the moment 🫠
I do not want to sound disrespectful, but whenever I see any foreign born lady/man living in India, I feel that they shall leave this country soon, because of the harsh working and living conditions in India, as compared to any of the developed countries of the world. Just a thought, I wanted to share.
@@Chaubeyjiiiiii oh! common leave this to her finnish mom and indian haryanvi father, enjoy the video and try to be a positive person. Don't get personal
Annika is the star of the show. You guys are making money with this channel. So this is basically child labor. The United Nations Child Rights Article 32: The child has the right to be protected from economical exploration. Article 16: The child has the right to privacy. Why doe you not protect Annika's child rights?
Your statements are hateful. They aren't exploiting the child; as they let her communicate on her terms. Open your mind and stop with this liberal mentality.
Johanna.. when my son is Annika age.. Our mother toung is Bengali but my wife talk him in Hindi me in bangali and we stay at Maharashtra... So it's difficult for the boy learn any one language.. My suggestion to u talk to her with only one language.. after learning one language she can easily adopt others.. Look she have learn Malayalam also.. I understand u miss finish language .. it's ur mother toung... But please understand.. as i have faced this .. and i am advising u as my little sister..
Did i told Johanna talking in Malayalam.. i know she speaks in Finnish as it's Johanna mother tongue.. but poor Annika is confusing in this type language circus..

It’s always nice to have more family around for Annika to play with 🥰
You are now completely Indianised and that interaction with grandparents by Annika was a special and lovely gathering.
I don’t see being Indian or Finnish that different in the end, at least when it comes to the things that matter to me the most, like home, family and food - except maybe the use of spices and I’ve always loved Indian and overall more spicy food unlike what’s in traditional Finnish recipes 😅 I love love love Indian food, though now i miss Finnish food quite a bit too since I never get it 😋
@@JohannaNorth I should correct my self. Fininaised is better word
@@madhavkopalle i love this term coined by a fellow Finnish-Indian couple: we’re Findustani 😍
Hope Anika is doing well. She is the Star of the show. Love to see her happy and jumping around.
Wow, its so beautiful the way Annika mixes some Finish , some Hindi and some English words. its soo cute 😍 😊
Can’t take my eyes off Annika at the top of the video walking to the door with a bag in her hand. Love her in her jumpsuit. 😘🇨🇦
Too cool for school 🤓
Anika is smart and intelligent. Such doll , cute pie
Annika will be so excited when dada and dadi come 😘👋😘👋😘
Super happy she was 🥰
It's a lovely video, Annika was carrying a bag, looking so beautiful, talking with mama, didi, grandparents and also kissing papa....so sweet, calling mama mama is so nice to listen and lastly your cooking of gajar ka halwa.... lovely ❤

More than birthday it is respect of elders which comes across that is very nice 🎉.🎂

We’re both learning, Annika much quicker than me though 😊🙏 maybe once Annika goes to school one day, I’ll start taking Hindi classes again

How adorable is Anika! Keep idal...

You could have asked Vinod to shoot his trip as well .. He still remains mysterious...😊..
While Vinod is OK with being on my videos and channel, he’s not interested in vlogging about his own stuff 😊
Hope Annika is better now
Arnika muhaa 🥳 she is very much intelligent.
Hello Johanna Vinod and Annika 👧🏻♥️👋♥️👋♥️
Dada and dadi love her ...
Please take care of Anika due to traveling also she must be fallen sick .lot's of blessings and she will be fine.

Finnish, Rajasthani, Hindi, English and Malayalam; she will be speaking all of these languages very shortly.
Instead of rajasthani she would be learning Haryanvi possibly in the future 😊
❤@1:20 North Indian winter in April😂😂😂Gud luck with that
