Trilingual family
Those with small children who speak three or more languages at home - how does it work for you and what has been most effective?
We live in the Scotland . I’m Czech, my fiancé is Hungarian, and we speak exclusively English together. OPOL (one parent one language) is often mentioned everywhere, but how does it actually worked for you in practice? And especially when you’re all at home together? Do you keep using all three languages, or just the shared one (in this case English)?
Thank you in advance for all your responses 🤗

We're a bilingual family doing OPOL. So generally I speak Spanish to my baby, husband speaks English. I speak English to him even in front of her but when talking to her I switch to Spanish. It gets messy but It's not that hard once you get use to it. I don't know if it works or not bcs she's only 8 months now, I guess I'll see when she starts saying words!
