As many of you might remember, I'm Russian and my husband is English. I speak English (hope that is obvious lol), but OH speaks only basic Russian. I want G to speak both languages.
I understand that both I and OH should speak to G in our native languages, but I'm worried that then G will not pick up that much English - I spend more time and speak so much more to him! Now I start teaching him names of different objects, do you think maybe I should do that in both languages? Like say "this is a ball" in Russian and then in English straight away? Or do one language one day and another the other day? Or just stick to Russian all together? But then my husband will soon have no clue what his son is babbling about
Really confused about this!
