My mother tongue is Portuguese, but I started to study and learning Spanish when I was about 11/12 When I was 18 I started to learn English as well (but I had had contact with English since I was a little kid, just not in a regular way) Now I can speak these three languages and it's pretty useful, even though I live in a monolingual country (Brazil) When I have children, I want to raise them speaking at least English and Portuguese (but it would be nice if they achieve Spanish as well, because I find it important to be able to communicate with other Latinos)

That was fantastic! I’m pregnant with my first baby and we’re Brazilian My husband and I were talking about raise her as a bilingual child So he’ll be talking only in Portuguese and I’ll be talking in English This is called OPOL, I guess However, I’m an English teacher and a sign language interpreter in Brazil I’ve heard that newborns can communicate with us using sign language So what’s is your opinion about that? My husband just speak PortuguesebrbrbrAnd about English I need to study a lot about it, to be consistent and also creative to do some activities with her And to learn baby vocabulary because I’ve been studying English since 2005 and I’ve never saw those kind of things in my entire life I hope that I can do my best for her 🤰🏻💖

I live in Brazil, my mom is still fertile, I'm an only child and I want a sibling If it just so happens that my mom gets pregnant and I get a sibling, I WILL be speaking mostly in english with them It would be an accomplishment if they could learn to speak both portuguese and english at a much earlier age than I did I only learned it when I was 10, and honestly it was the biggest accomplishment of my futile existence My mom probably won't give me a sibling, so I'll just teach my kiddos in the future

I'm friends with two biligual families A have a Scottish friend who lives in Spain with her English husband & their four kids In the house, they use English, but when they go out, they use Spanish The kids are now fluent in both, including their 2 yr old son The other family are at my Church The wife is English & the husband is German The wife speaks English to their toddler & baby & the hubby speaks German to them The toddler understands them perfectly & the almost 1 yr old is showing signs of understanding both This is great, as when their German grandparents come to visit, the toddler is fluent in German

I'm German and I wanna marry a Chinese girl and have kids I wanted to raise my child bilingual or trilingual by her speaking Chinese and me using English and German but since equal exposure is required I should try Chinese and English first and probably teach German at a young age but when these speech patterns already developed (I can speak Chinese too but I think growing up with the two dominant languages of the world would be super beneficia)

We are in an Arab country and my kids understand Arabic but they talk English because me and my wife are working and we preferred to put them with Phillipines family whose speak English and what brought me here is I don't know I feel we done a mistake in that So me and the mother decided that she talks with the kids in Arabic and I talk with them in English but still when thier mom talk to them in Arabic they reply in English and what I wanted is when I talk to them in English they reply in English and when we talk to them in Arabic they reply in Arabic I don't know if anyone has similar like my problem and give me an advice

I was spoken to in 3 different languages as a baby and I started speaking a bit early, but my lil brother who had the same situation didn’t start talking until much later and so my parents worried that 3 languages were too much and were confusing him and delaying him so they started only speaking to him in 1 Now I’m trilingual while he’s mostly monolingual So maybe multiple languages delay some childrens speech and not others?

My kids are bilingual and they both started walking later than other children, but our kids spoke to their other parent in their language and to me in mine in very few mistakes

I (native English speaker) learned Italian as a young adult, so I always wonder what benefits it gives my brain I have noticed that I'm able to multitask better now that I have to codeswitch between languages And I'm always happy to be able to read more books and have more media to enjoy in general I'm mainly curious to know if this will decrease my risk of dementia as I get older
