The Learning Machine

Muzaffar have learnt most of the Arabic and Roman alphabets, and all the numbers from 0 to 9.

He has also learnt the names of most road vehicles. He love trucks the most.

A method of teaching involves the Etch-A-Sketch, which I regularly scribbled a letter or two and ask him what it is.

He has some problem recognizing the letter G, Q and J. All else is good though.

And he also has a new method of learning. By long-distance learning through the phone.

Since I expected him to pick up the phone at our house, I usually provoked him to talk by mentioning anything that interests him enough to repeat.

Dad: Kereta polis
Son: Kete bolis / Kete podis

Dad: Nasi lemak
Son: Nasi namak

Dad: Back Hoe
Son: Behho

Dad: Alif Asadun Singa Lion
Son: Alif Asadun Singe Nayon Ba Batton
Dad: Itik Duck

He will answer if you know how to, so it's important to know what provokes his mind.
