I'm Vietnamese, but I'm not fluent. DH can speak Spanish.
We have a few books and toys that have both English and Spanish. Since I have French relatives (and I took French in high school), I have a Usborne book for French words.
I should find one for vietnamese words so I can jog my memory and learn myself.

She has a book with some Spanish, but it was free so I can't take credit for it. I'll probably have books with different languages in the house, and if she expresses an interest maybe we can learn one together. But since DH and I don't speak anything else (other than horrible high school Spanish), there's no practical way to introduce it young.

We have a Spanish speaking nanny.
DD also attends a mandarin immersion preschool.
We're really excited at the possibility of introducing them to languages.

English is my primary language. French is my DH's primary language, so we speak both at home. We live in a German-speaking country so they go to an exclusively German-speaking daycare. My son is going to start elementary school at the French school this fall (where he will also continue with German language classes).

I speak English with LO, Sweetie speaks with him in Ukrainian, and he goes to a Spanish immersion daycare. We have books and music for him in all three languages (plus a smattering of French books from my childhood. I don't speak French well at all, but I grew up in a francophone pocket of New England).

I sought out a Spanish-speaking nanny (who started when LO was 3 months), and now at 22 months LO seems almost as fluent in Spanish as she is in English. I really hope to keep up her exposure to and grasp of Spanish as she grows!

We have a Spanish-speaking nanny. Neither DH or I speak Spanish so we frequently have to google to figure out when DS learns a new Spanish word.

LO goes to a daycare in a Mandarin speaking home with two Chinese women and a Hispanic woman. She knows some Mandarin and Spanish but I have no idea how much. DD will never say anything in Chinese for me because mommy doesn't know Chinese.

I'm Korean-American and so is y husband. Our English is WAY better but we can speak read and write in Korean (but Lower elementary level). We speak exclusively to our children in Korean. Minus reading books. I think we try 100% and it ends up probably 80%. We will keep this up as long as we can. I want to teach my children Spanish too as they get a little older (I took it in
Middle and high school)
