I also know this because I have two completely bilingual daughters. We speak two languages at home. My husband speaks only Polish to the girls and I speak only English. We have no problems at all.


We have done exactly the same in our home from day 1, both of our girls are very comfortable in English or Polish as well as other languages.

Im an expectant Mom as well and not Polish. I can speak 3 languages and working on my 4th, Polish.
My husband is Polish and we communicate in English.
We have this agreement that he will only speak Polish to our child and I will only speak my native language as well.

I have worked before as a child caregiver and I had this 3 years old kid and she absolutely dont know English at all, but after a year living with her, she spoked fluent English like the native English speaking children.

So, I can tell it really works if you will stick in one idea and follow same method, 'coz if won't, that the time the child will get confuse.

I'm sorry sleeping_beauty and I really don't mean to offend but I have to be honest. Going by what you have written there you most certainly did not teach that child tp speak English like a native speaker.

So how do you think she learned how to speak English?

give her a break. Her English is better than many native speakers that use terrible slang and bad grammar.

The previous poster is right. It's kind of ridiculous to claim to have taught someone to speak native English when your own English is of such a poor standard.

Like starting a sentence with a lowercase 'g' for example?
