Jeezo! Good luck...and here was me worrying about two languages!! haha!!!

when i have children they will grow up speaking English and Spanish and possibly other languages as i also speak German and my husband is half Spanish half Philippino (sp?) and he speaks lots of European languages as well, also we have a 3 year old son who was adopted from China,he already spoke quite good Chinese and very little English when we adopted him,sometimes when he's shy he still speaks to me in Chinese so that other people don't understand him! especially when he needs the toilet! but he is now very good at speaking English after only living with us for 6 months,my Aunt is a speech therapist and she says that his English is the same as an average 3 year old who as been brought up their whole lives in England,speaking English, i'm so proud of him! i don't think all of this will be too confusing for our future children as my husband has always been fine with speaking so many languages and he has been doing so since a very young age,also children are very good at learning new languages, as well as this though we will spend a lot of time living in England but also on an island where they speak Spanish but there is a trilingual school where the children learn in English,Spanish and German, our son currently speaks a little Spanish from watching Dora The Explorer and Go Diego Go! who said TV wasn't educational?!

Children have a natural affinity to language before they reach pubert. They seem to learn to speak another language if exposed to it- and will speak it like a native speaker- with a perfect accent. If a language learned after puberty it is usually easy to tell that someone is not a native speaker

My daughter has just turned one.
I am English and my wife Thai. We live in Thailand but in an international school where English is the main language. She will be brought up with both languages, but in the mix will be the North Eastern Thai (similar to Laoatian (sp?))when she visits and talks to my wife's parents.
I speak very little Thai despite living in Thailand for 8 years. I hope my daughter will pick t up much easier than I!

I'm a language teacher (Spanish and French) and I'm English. My Son is currently 19 months old. His English is really coming along, he can more or less hold a decent conversation with some translation at times from Mum, and his Spanish impriving too. I speak to him in English but we do games and a little bit of 'chat' in Spanish. I read to him in Spanish and French too, but he also watches about 10mins TV in Spanish per day as I think it's important that he sees and hears a native speaker if he is going to learn other languages. I don't for two minutes think he will be fluent in Spanish and French but I hope it gives him an ear and an enthusiasm to learn other more in the future. You are never too young to learn a language!
