My husband and I are pregnant with triplets, due any day now. We've been discussing teaching our children more than just English as they develop. I speak English, French, Italian and Assyrian; my husband speaks English and German.
Ideally, we'd like to teach them English initially, as the most important language, but because our families reside in Italy and Germany primarily, we'd also like to teach them Italian and German.
I grew up speaking just two languages, so I worry that having three languages may be confusing for our children. However, I know that learning a language at a young age is easier than starting a language later in life.
Does anyone have any suggestions for us?
Thanks in advance!
