Risou no Himo Seikatsu - Vol. 14 Ch. 59 - My dear home

[Al_Azif]

That's a total load of bull. Children of bilingual families have no issues.

It is actually extremely HARMFUL to not speak as many languages as possible in front of your child. Children do not learn language the way adults do! They do not 'study' it, they 'assimilate' it. Something that is hard for adults.
Thanks to that, a child that learns multiple languages as young'uns will be able to speak all of them flawlessly, understand all of them flawlessly and have easier time learning any other language in the future. They absolutely will NOT mix them up. At least, not past 3'rd or 4'th year of age.

Furthermore, the more languages they learn, the more intelligent they will be as they grow up.

In other words, what is shown in this chapter is how to hurt your childes future for no good reason. The exact opposite should be done, surround him with as many languages as possible. It doesn't matter whether they would be spoken to him or around him. As long as he will hear them, he will assimilate them and grow with them. Proof? My English is learned from watching cartoons in English when I was a kid, then 'leveled up' as I started playing games in English. I've never, not once, had an issue with differentiating between English and my native language, and instead I can think in both. I do not need to translate between them in my mind, ever. My nephews have parents with two nationalities and hear both languages. They also have no issue differentiating between the two languages. Not now, not when they were just beginning to speak.

Because he totally should learn a language only used by one person in the world at barely one year old.

Do you think that would apply in a universe where they have magic auto-translators? This is a hypothetical scenario so its just some food for thought but in a world where people passively have their words translated, would people who grew up with multiple languages be able to differentiate when to use which language? No one is ever going to correct them since they would just hear the translated version anyway and they’ll have a hard time knowing which language is which once they process the soul of words. Like, saying “I am feeling good today”, “Yo am feeling bueno today”, and “me siento bien hoy” would all be the same as far as everyone else is concern so there is a lack of feedback in mixing language. Really, the concept of learning a language with the soul of word is sort of questionable because at what point do words start being auto-translated. And if words are getting auto-translated, why is there even an importance in properly learning the verbal language?

Your monthly reminder that MC actually does zero sponging

ah yes the balance of "deadbeat OP MCs" and "weak-ass MCs who pulls their own weight" lmao

Your monthly reminder that MC actually does zero sponging

Well his living arrangement improved compared to earth and he's got a knight bodyguard and shit like that. But yeah he worked for it, quite a lot.

 

[mailforporn]

maybe i'm being too picky, but i feel this was a chapter full of nothing...

Never drink alcohol during pregnancy! Alcohol use during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, and a range of lifelong physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities, which are known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), and they are no joke.

I wonder if this is also one of the possible outcomes

 

[AnotherDuck]

Kids are surprisingly good at learning languages. Mixing two languages up isn't what would happen. Some kids at the preschool I work at can barely even speak properly, and they still know three languages.

Queen wants alcohol badly.

I get that this is a harem manga but I do personally wish that relationships with mc and concubine(s) stay platonic with reasons for their positions being purely political. probably very unlikely but oh well

Considering how slowly they're going about it, I kind of don't mind. It's not like they're throwing every flavour of female character archetype to the MC for the purpose of appealing to the readers.

Oof, sucks that he has to be careful with how he speaks with his son. Mixing up two languages can put a strain on someone young.

I wouldn't worry that much about it.

It would be a different story if MC were to be single for a few chapters in the beginning and had a couple girls fawning over him with time and accepting them one after the other.

That would make it like pretty much every other harem story, so I wouldn't want that.

So not having a concubine is impossible after all huh
Stay strong your majesties

 

[SalvySaroj]

Small room!? And that puny ice is holding up...😑

 

[SalvySaroj]

How the hell is this stiff relationship gonna last...
So damn troublesome and these unnecessary gibberish why....

 

[Seraphus]

I wonder... normally, one could see Freya going to TwnKngdm as a way to show that he doesn't need a third wife (which sounds good to me), but I could see the author decide to be dumb as fucking fuck (and I mean really, stupidly fucking dumb), and claim that having a new second wife aling with him somehow magically means that he wants a new wife.
Which would not ever make sense, but I have low expectations with some isekai...

Anyway... deep cleansing breaths...

It could also be a great way to threaten the TwnKngdm, by having their "ancient rival" or whatever be there during a visit!
It would be quite the subtle retaliation to have them trying to tie him down, and mess with his family/son, by having the (big and powerful?) Northern Kingdom princess present as his concubine, especially when they have this kinda vendetta-type thing from history.

Fuck with my family?
Cool; here's the people you ran away from, with (superior?) military technology, and they're also my family.
(Am I remembering correctly that they have superior military technology? Or just the boats/ships are more advanced? Which is Military, but not solely)

AN ELEPHANT IN A FRIDGE? FORGET THAT WEVE GOT A PRINCESS (captain cough sorry) IN A FRIDGE LETSO

 

[IdidNineEleven]

If the child does not get the protagonist's JP translated by the magic that translates between beings with souls, then is it because the child has no soul? If that's the case, then Aura should be able to resurrect her son if he dies while an infant.
