If parents want to teach their baby 2 languages, is it best to designate one language to each parent to teach?

I mean like the mother will speak to the baby only in..Arabic, for example, and the father will only speak to the baby in like French. Will the baby (newborn) grow to learn both languages? How about if the baby is living in U.S, how should they teach the baby English as well as the 2 languages?


Just wondering =)If parents want to teach their baby 2 languages, is it best to designate one language to each parent to teach?
I'm not an expert, but I think it might confuse the child if one parent speaks in one language, and the other in another.





For example, baby might think that only women understand Arabic, or that you may only speak to women in Arabic; and only speak to men in French and that only men understand French and no other language.





I do think that the baby needs to learn English if s/he's living in the US. Simply because not a lot of people here speak either Arabic or French.





Baby WILL begin to understand words as they are spoken going off of the looks on the parents' face and their reactions. For example, most people shake their head and look upset/angry/spank a child/etc when they say ';no'; so the child begins to learn that ';no'; means what they did was wrong.





This will go with wether a women or a man is teaching one language, the other, or both. Kids are pretty smart and can learn a lot. I know, I have a two year old and he's picking up on a lot.





You may even speak to an expert on this just to get a professional's opinion so baby learns the best way possible.If parents want to teach their baby 2 languages, is it best to designate one language to each parent to teach?
I think whatever works for the parents. a second language however taught is always a good tool to know
No, both parents should speak both languages with the child if both parents know the language. Have one conversation in one language and a different conversation in another language. Babies catch on quickly and having the repetition only reinforces their learning. I do think that any exposure to a language at an early age a child will learn.
Yes, it works best if each parent always uses one language. Hold off on the third until the child is somewhat verbal. These kids usually have a slight language delay at the beginning but catch up quickly and being bilingual is a gift.
Many parents do it this way, so it makes the transition easier for the child, but he will not have as much trouble as you will no matter how you teach it.


Go for it.
Parents should be happy with theese 3





1. English (UK NOT USA)


2. French (France NOT Gutter French)


3. Spainish (Spain NOT Latin America)





This along with Latin should give a child basic knowlege of world languadges.
