How to teach my baby english?

CaroNovoa

Costa Rica

Hello, I’m from Costa Rica, we have spanish as our native lenguage, I speak english too and my husband is from Jamaica and he speaks english only, my 1 1/2 years old son stays with my mother while we both are at work and my consern is that by he being around them most of the time, he is starting to repeat the words in spanish and understanding instructions in spanish but when me or his father talk to him in english he don’t follow the instructions,he just don’t seems to get it,  so how can I introduce english lenguage as his complementary basic lenguage from early now?

don’t give the baby to your mother unless she speaks english. put the baby in an english speaking daycare or pre-school.

I don`t think it is right to teach him two languages.


anyway children can learn two languages at the same time . I think watching cartoons in English will do the job .
