Ways to teach kid to speak in mother tongue and why is it important

The first few words spoken by a child are etched forever in every parents' heart. Kids begin with speaking singular words, they start saying sentences later. These initial words decide the language a child will pick up.

In an interview, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh said that he is learning to speak and understand Konkani, the mother tongue of his wife, actor Deepika Padukone. The actor explained the reason why he is learning the new language which is way different from his native language which is Sindhi. Ranveer said that when he has kids he does not want to miss the conversation that Deepika has with them when she speaks to them in her mother tongue, as he does not understand the language properly. While Deepika joked about it, Ranveer's statement does hold a different level of honesty.
