Bilingual babies?

[lpewitt44]

Anyone going to have bilingual children? Im american and my husband is guatemalan...so our baby will be fluent in englosh and spanish because I will only speak english to baby and the daddy ..only spanish...thats actually how our relationship works...we work together (thats how we met) and people love hearing us talk to eachother because while hes speaking to me in spanish im responding him in english...lol

[starshine355]

I'm so jealous....we're both English.. altho hubby speaks french... I'd love to speak another language and teach my boys it too. They have picked up sign language off the TV
And they know it well...but I find it hard to grasp it...

Im actually Puerto Rican and Lebanese. My husband is Palestinian. We both our fluent in pur native language plus I also am taking college courses to become fluent in French. I am 75% fluent. So our baby will learn Arabic, English, French, and Spanish:-) very unique.

I am maori my partner Australian. My family speak maori alot but thank god they are in New Zealand and we are in Australia. My 5 yr old says certain Maori words but I wasnt brought up around it so wont matter if he isnt.

My husband is Puerto rican and I'm white. Our baby will definitely learn Spanish also bc some of my husband relatives don't speak English.

I'm white and my husband is mexican so the baby will grow up speaking both languages

I am American and my boyfriend is Samoan he is planning on teaching our baby Samoan :) I don't know it though so he can't speak it all the time our child will know both

[lpewitt44]

Well with her first language being english she probably wont have as much of an accent as them

[mommy_land]

I'm American and my boyfriend is African. His family only speaks yoruba while we communicate in English. I want my daughter to learn their language but I'm afraid she'll have an accent like his family and I won't be able to understand her... I can barely understand them because the accent is so strong

[lpewitt44]

Helenk......its horrible how spanish has so many diff ways to speak it....i can clearly understand somone from mexico and central america....but when someone from cuba is speaking im always like wait..slow down lol and from spain...sometimes its a little difficult for me but not so much because I had a teacher that was from spain

[VaniDavila]

I speak both English and Spanish fluently, but hubby only speaks spanish. My oldest daughter barely learned spanish about 2-3 years ago, but my youngest (19 mnths) understands and tries speaking both languages. They will adapt to both languages and when they enter school, they will be able to speak both :)

I'm Chinese and husband is american by Spanish descent. So we're hoping to included all three languages early on. We will have to send the kid to Chinese class on Sunday down the line and luckily we live in a city with a good amount of Chinese people. The issue is which Chinese to learn, I speak 3 different dialects and different group of my family speaks different one. And husband's family was from Cuba with Spanish and French in the family tree. So he want the baby to learn either the Cuban or Spain Spanish, which I was told is a little difference from the Mexican Spanish. But most of our local Spanish speaking friends are Mexican. So ya, it's going to fun trying to figure everything out. Lol.

I'm American and my husband is Puerto Rican and even though I can't speak fluent Spanish I want my husbands family to teach our baby girl Spanish. Not only will it benefit her but I want her to learn about both cultures but especially the Spanish culture since she'll be living in America.

[Jwilliams229]

My husband is from India so he will learn Hindi along with a few other laungages spoken in India and of course English.

[high_risk_prego]

Lol sorry my phone messes up. I meant so does my husband and my mom will help out while I am in school so for sure the baby will know Spanish.

[high_risk_prego]

I speak both and so dies my husband so we are holding to teach our little monkey both. Specially sins I will be going back to school my job will help out so for sure baby will know Spanish.

[octob_mommy23]

[lpewitt44]

My secret for learning spanish...was listening to others speakibg spanish 24/7...especially while I was in mexico for a year...

[crystal725]

My husband is Spanish and fluent in it as well, when I have to go back to work our baby will be staying with his Auntie, who speaks mostly Spanish, so our baby will, hopefully, be fluent as he grows.  I am trying to learn what I can now, and trying to teach our 8 year old, too.

[lpewitt44]

I think it will be easy for ouemr children to learn more languages because from an early age when they first learn to talk itll cone to them much easier!! My husband has a child in gyatemala and we despiertly wanna bring her here so she can learn engkish(shes only 3) and she can go though school and will be fluent in both engkush and spanish..the only problem is her mom doesnt wanna give her up ( she gets all the money she needs from my husband to take care of the little girl) but it hurts me sonetimes to see my husband so upset because he hasnt seen his daughter in over 2 years and I would love to have her here as part of our family!!!

[expectingbaby4]

English, Spanish, and Apache. Both my husband and I have Native American parents and the other Hispanic. We grew up more around native American culture and so will our girls.
