[@ParulROfficial]

In my house, I am speaking completely English with my daughter. Her father speaks Hindi, My side grandparents speak Punjabi and her father side grandparents speak Pahadi(mountain side) language. Also I am trying to teach her French basic level. She is speaking English as native

Wow! Your daughter is so lucky to have so many languages! It’s such a gift to be able to speak more than one language and it opens so many doors!

Great!! Thanks Jen, very helpful. I did not know that speech delay is actually a myth…

Hey Claudia! Thanks for watching and for the video suggestion! Yes, it’s a myth that has made its way round the world very successfully as I know so many people who have said this. The truth is that although bilingual language development has a slight difference from monolingual language development, it doesn’t translate into a delay in speech. The cause of speech delay is congenital or present at birth such as hearing impairment, autism, and intellectual disability.

Hi there, I'm a NZ single mum living in the Netherlands. I'm very fluent in Dutch however my native language is English of course. So I speak to my baby who is now 1 year's old in English and she gets the dutch from the childcarer that she goes to twice a week. However I speak dutch to everyone else around me, except my family who only speak english. Sometimes I switch to dutch though when I'm around other dutch kids then I speak with my daughter in both. So it's sometimes a mix. Do you think this is ok?

Hi Nicola! Everything you’re doing is perfect! I’m in France just now with my in-laws and so I speak French with everyone else and English with my girls, although sometimes I slip in French words with them too as I find it hard to switch languages as I’m not fluent in French. Thanks so much for watching and commenting x
