bilingual baby - diskuze

Thank you for coming with such an interesting topic.I also used to think about this. In the end, I decided not to do that. My idea was English or / and German.In my opinion, to do this makes sense if:a) the foreign language is a mother tongue of one of the parents of the childb) the child is living with his parents abroadThat means, either one of the parents is talking to the child just using the foreign language or the child is entirely surrounded by that in it´s daily life.I am affraid, living e.g. in the Czech Republic, with both parents speaking in Czech to him, the child could get confused to hear the foreign language from one of the parenst just time to time (although, even this is probably certainly better than nothing). In my opinion, it is hardly possible to organize the family life in such a way, that one of the Czech parents would be really talking to the child just in English.In this case, it would more likely be "just teaching" then a bilingual education.My intention is therefore to support my children in learning foreign languages rather than bringing them up in a biligual way. (Also an English nursery or kindergarten could be useful for the child, at least for the part of the day it would entirely be surrounded with English, forced to use the language in each situation. What a shame, there is nothing like this in our area.)May I ask you a little bit personal question? Is you partner, the father of your child, a foreigner?
