We speak only English but my MIL speaks Japanese and my parents speak Chinese to my LO. I hope LO learns both languages!
-
LO speaks english and korean!
most of the words she knows are in Korean though.
-
Yup! 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.
-
LO will be. I speak Korean/English. My parents speak Korean (and my mama will be LO's primary caretaker when I go back to work).
-
We speak English at home. We live in Tokyo, so everyone else speaks to her in Japanese. My mom speaks Japanese to her too, when she does Facetime from the US.
-
At daycare they sing songs in english and spanish and they are spoken to in both english and spanish.
-
My in laws speak Khmer (Cambodian) and my family speaks Cantonese (mostly) and Mandarin. I'm hoping our LO will pick them all up.
-
Not at home. But, I hope LO can learn Spanish at a young age through some schooling.
-
I'm so jealous of all of you! 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.
-
We speak english to her, and my mom speaks cantonese to her. Hopefully she will pick it up from her.
-
Spanish and English in the home.
-
Korean and English at home and Korean only at his daycare.
-
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.
-
our FLO will speak spanish and english....its a must...
-
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
-
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.

@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!

DD is exposed to Cantonese when my parents are around but that is not often. She is going to start going to Mandarin classes in a few months though.
most of the words she knows are in Korean though.
