This is the most awesome dictionary ever.
Thanks, Shannon! It makes me giggle whenever she makes up a new word. So glad you appreciate it!
I would love to borrow this idea for my kidlings
I have a video of him making up his own country and language. Hilarious.
If I were to create a EuroDictionary – words/expressions invented in our bilingual household – and linked it back to you as the inspiration, would you like/dislike it?
Like! I think it is a great idea, Shannon. Let me know when you have it up. I can’t wait to check it out.
