's son
Milanis certainly a fast learner.The youngster's proud mum shared a video on Facebook showing that, at the tender age of just one,
Milan is already able to read.The video, which the
Hips Don't Liesinger entitled '
Learning to read with mommy/ Aprendiendo a leer con mami', shows
Shakira writing words in Spanish as Milan reads them out.
Shakira, who is now
expecting a second baby boywith her footballer fiancé
Gerard Pique, can be overheard encouraging her son by saying "muy bien" as he says 'mama', 'papa', 'tete', 'meme' and 'agua'.Colombia-born Shakira has previously talked about how important she thinks it is to
teach children early on to help aid their development.While most children learn to read at around the age of five or six, Shakira and Gerard are clearly keen for Milan to start on the basics as early as possible.
Before too long Milan will have his younger brother to play educational games with.Shakira's parents Nidia Ripoll and William Mebarak Chadid
revealed the baby's gender to HELLO!'s sister publication HOLA!earlier this month."We're very happy," said Nidia and William. "
She's having another baby boy – a playmate for Milan. We don't know anything about names yet."
