My little bilingual son
I have a son, who is two years and five months now. I speak English with him. He speaks Russian and English. Watching for his language development is really amusing. He has just started speaking English but he understands this language well. Mostly I like his efforts to combine English and Russian words. If anybody has the experience of bringing up a bilingual child I look forward to finding out about it.Hello Irene,
Nice text with just a few small corrections.
Both of our children (ages 5 & 9) are bilingual, they speak English and Polish fluently.Since they were born I have only spoken to them in English and my wife and her family in Polish. They have just accepted 'Daddy's' words and 'Mummy's' words. My wife can give them a message in Polish, it will be given to me in English and I reply in English. The response is then given back to my wife in Polish!
There are some very good videos on youtube for very young learners - have a look for super simple songs - they have lyrics on their website. If you have cable or satellite tv, you may be able to switch languages on some of the children's channels too.
Best wishes
Bob
