    I started introducing my baby French since birth. It involved lots of singing in French. I think I know all the French nursery rhymes lol I just started reading French books to my baby

    I'm not fluent in my native tongue but started speaking to my baby in it from birth using the OPOL method. The more I soeak the better I get and I have a tutor as well. She's the one who encouraged me not to rely on being fluent to speak and also allow myself to make mistakes. I'm now a solid intermediate and only use English when I'm nonplussed, although I base my tutoring on my daughter's growing needs. Songs and books have been great and I agree about practicing with these.

    Thank you for this video! My husband's Latino but his family never taught him Spanish and he struggled with language barrier his own community like many American children of immigrants. I am Korean and speak fluent Korean and plan to raise our child with Korean. But I always wanted to also incorporate Spanish as well so that the child can grow trilingual. And I've been learning Spanish but it's my 4th and worst language. This video energized me. Gratitude to you!

      I'm so happy to hear this. The seeds are there for trilingual children! I hear of so many people reclaiming their heritage language the same way I did with French. Heritage is a wonderful motivator for kids but it might not kick in until they're a bit older and get to experience the language need a bit more with relatives. I wouldn't count it out. Maybe your husband will join in the efforts as well and you could learn and expand on Spanish as a family :).

    Thank you so much! I have two toddlers and want to start teaching them french. I learned Spanish growing up. But never past the intermediate level. So this is a first for me. I needed this exact thing. So thankful I am doing this when my kids are learning basic English too.

    What languages did you teach your son?
    I'm only fluent in English but can get by in several. We dabble in Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi/Urdu, ASL, and several others. I'm learning Italian and speak ok Portuguese, Hindi, and sign. But I'd love for him to speak decent Hindi and Spanish...
    This video is SOOO encouraging!!!

    I was confused (Ftm) because I am bilingual my husband too. We both speak fluent English & fluent Spanish. We are both Mexicans&our family are from Mexico. We want our son to speak Spanish too. We been speaking to him in Spanish since birth. He is 1yrs old(18m). & he speaks a few Spanish words he understands Spanish too. But we also want him to speak English too we just don't wanna confuse him 😅. He's primarily language right now is Spanish ❤.

      Have him watch cartoons only in German from age 2. No English allowed. He will *at least* get perfect comprehension, and then learning to speak it later in life will be relatively easy.

    • @xunvenile

      Im German. German is really hard and our emotions in German are deep. If you don't know German it's gonna be hard for you. but if you don't want your son to be native, you want him to teach him the basics and the understanding of the language you can start with children shows and song. It's easy to find Disney movies and shows on Disney+ and our children songs are the same in English so it's easier for you to pick it up and to switch. just make sure your pronunciation is good enough bc German words can be tricky to pronounce

      @@xunvenile German hasn’t been hard for me at all, lol. I think because I know Spanish. I think if I only knew English I can see why it would be very hard.
