How do children respond to the Manx?
Most respond very well and all enjoy the rhymes and songs whether at playgroup or Nursery. Some go on to speak simple phrases. Using English /Manx half and half sentences is a common stage some children go through on their way to becoming fluent. Other children who attend regularly, understand a remarkable amount of Manx but may say little at first. All children are gently encouraged to do what they can. They are never told off for using English.
