Language swap between my son and the nanny, with a points table on the fridge

He teaches her English words from his reader, she teaches him Marathi. One point for every word remembered the next day. She is winning by a lot. Today he tried to claim 'banana' as a Marathi word.

    Who decides if a word counts? That's where ours would end in a fight.

      the nanny should be the referee. she's clearly the better teacher of the two

      banana is a strong attempt though. my daughter once argued 'bus' was malayalam because her ammamma says it
