Im not from germany but we are raising my daughter bilingual. Im English and her father is Spanish :)

We live in Southern California and 50% of people here speak Spanish so we are teaching the basic Spanish words that we know. So he'll be partly bilingual.

Do yall feel like English is easier sometimes lol she understands everything I say but speaks more English. Maybe because she sees me talking to everybody else in English. But I would love for her to speak German :( sometimes i just want to throw in the towel and speak in English.. But I've come so far with her now.. Lol

Well... Yall speak English lol so the first question doesn't apply.. Sorry 😜 I just feel like it English would be so much easier. But then again it's important to me and my mom that she speaks our language so that they can communicate since she doesn't speak any English.

Don't give up! I bet your LO will appreciate the time you spent teaching her another language when she's older.

She hardly speaks German :/ so I feel like I'm failing. Also when I drop her off with a family members ( my husbands ) or the playcare ( it's not a daycare ) she has trouble communicating because she mixes the words. Other kids just look at her like she's from a different planet and I feel bad :(

I'm not from Germany but I am trying to teach my son Spanish and English. My first language is Spanish so I talk to him in Spanish most of the time and daddy doesn't speak Spanish so he talks English to him all the time. My two step kids were already older when we got custody so it's harder for them to learn.

Yea that's how we are doing it.. How old is your son?? If I can ask.. Does he speak more Spanish or English?? That's what's so confusing to me I guess lol
