She is going to start going to Mandarin classes in a few months though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-202131 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:54:31 +0000 banana 202131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.cowgirl: I know what you mean! When I was home with my son all day when he was a newborn, we spoke 100% korean to him. After I went back to work, I somehow just started mixing it up (korean/english). I'm inconsistent about it though so I wonder if he's confused!. Like I'll say "You want a cookie? Yes? Gwajah? Yes? Kaka Yes?" hahaha. He's probably like "Is it cookie or gwajay or kaka or WUUUT??" I'm trying to be more consistent so that he'll start talking soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-202116 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:48:56 +0000 Maysprout 202116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>English and French. I'm not much of a French speaker but it's my husband's first language, so that's what he speaks with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-202078 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:22:38 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 202078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when lil' CB first came home, i spoke only korean to him. but once i went back to work and was talking and writing in english all day, it was so hard to switch back! i'm trying to get all the grandparents to speak only in korean to CB, but he's already lost so much korean...makes me so sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-202073 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:17:28 +0000 MrsCastro 202073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our FLO will speak spanish and english....its a must... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-202066 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:11:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 202066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she will be. English and Swedish at home. My mom will speak to her (on Skype) in Tagalog and English. My grandma might throw in some Ilocano words whenever they "talk". We live in Sweden so everyone else will talk to her in Swedish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-202022 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:40:02 +0000 banana 202022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Korean and English at home and Korean only at his daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201975 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:19:16 +0000 mamimami 201975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanish and English in the home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201954 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 11:13:06 +0000 lavender 201954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We speak english to her, and my mom speaks cantonese to her.

We try so hard to expose our girls to different languages, but I fear I'm falling very short. At least Lala's school goes Spanish immersion when she turns three. We're working very hard on building her Spanish vocabulary now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201927 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:57:55 +0000 DillonLion 201927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at home. But, I hope LO can learn Spanish at a young age through some schooling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201924 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:54:55 +0000 Alivoo01 201924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in laws speak Khmer (Cambodian) and my family speaks Cantonese (mostly) and Mandarin. I'm hoping our LO will pick them all up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201834 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 10:00:42 +0000 pelikila 201834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At daycare they sing songs in english and spanish and they are spoken to in both english and spanish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201826 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 09:51:28 +0000 mynoahbear 201826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We speak English at home.

With my mom here now we are speaking Fujianese, Cantonese and English to her. I need to take it upon myself to speak Cantonese to her daily so she picks up Cantonese and English fluently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201799 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 09:35:05 +0000 chopsuey 201799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO speaks english and korean! :) most of the words she knows are in Korean though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-baby-exposed-to-different-languages#post-201797 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 09:34:34 +0000 autumnlove 201797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We speak only English but my MIL speaks Japanese and my parents speak Chinese to my LO.
