Some of them are kind of German-sounding (bird comes out kind of, oh, bode, like you can't quite decide if you want to say vogel, and also you have a stuffy nose, and foot isn't really foot and isn't really fuss and is kind of foos) and some of them are the same (baby, knee, arm, banana, quack) and some of them are quite clearly auf Deutsch (apfel, krokodil, brot) and plenty are in English (onion, yellow, slide, juice). And you have several signs but i don't think we are really being consistent enough since you have been making so many words. So many words. And a couple of times, just a couple, literally twice, you have made sentences, and your first sentence (and your second, identical, sentence) was

bird fly.

And, little love, i don't know if it counts or not, if you were just parroting the exciting bits of my fully-conjugated speech, but i think it counts.
