Bilingual babies

I am talking to my son in italian and repeating in english, Dad is now learning also, so I think that's the best way. Granma calls us every day to talk to the baby so that he can hear it from a different source also

I’m talking to her all the time in Lithuanian (my mother tongue) and my husband and everyone else around talks to her in English. As she spends most of her time with me she first starting to understand my language better (she is 2.5 now), now she understands both languages but she talks mostly in English. I think because the words are so much easier. When she doesn’t know something in English she tries saying in Lithuanian but usually just me can understand as it’s difficult pronounce those long words. One parent one language I think it’s the best

We spoke mainly Viet at home and English when out or w my gfs/mum friends until he was 3, and he picked up English easily in the first term at 3yr old kinder. Just speak your native tongue at home and don’t worry about the English because society and school is English, they’ll learn it anyway.

Books and music in Spanish & French for us. Then my other mother tongue Fante (ghana) I speak to her in and again use music

Also looking for fellow speakers of the languages with young children would be ideal once she starts speaking for now were babbling 🤣

Im talking to my son in 2 different languages besides English so id only speak in those 2 and then repeat everything in the language i didn’t speak and sometimes id repeat in English too but since hubby speaks English to our son i usually speak the other 2. He is 12 months now and understands every language

I speak English with baby and Dad speaks Italian. Any nursery rhymes, movies, etc that I put on in the background for little one are in Italian. Any words I know I try to say in both languages like colours, food, shapes, animals, etc. My little one is too small for it right now, but for his birthday someone gifted him a little device that you put the cards in and it says the word in both English and Italian so that may be helpful for older/independent children.

Our babysitter speaks Spanish so she uses primarily Spanish when speaking to the kids and we use mostly English but I try to repeat as much as I can in Spanish. They are picking up on it very quickly

I mostly speak to my baby in french

Each parent should solely speak in their mother tongue

We speaking two languages to my daughter ( we don’t speak to her English ) only Arabic and French.
And she picks up English from nursery.

She js 21 months she does slot of talking at the moment is manly French and Arabic

Me and my mum talk to him in my language & dad talks to him in English. He’s understands a lot in both now

We did opol at home and at nursery they picked up the local language. At home we speak and read in 3 different languages. Their brains are incredible.

Want to add that screen time in different languages has been a good resource to reinforce each of the languages.

The most effective way would be for your husband to only speak to the baby in his mother tongue. It’s called OPOL, one parent one language.

I speak to baby in Russian, hubby in English and throws in his Russian too, nursery is English. Baby understands both languages and the words that he does speak are mostly in English. Some in Russian. But 90% in eng
