I'm Currently Feeling:  | Information overload?
Do you think its going to be too much if the people in my house speak English, French and ASL to the baby?? Or should we just try to stick with two? We're all fluent in English and although my French needs a brush up (I'm working on it until she's born), we can all for the most part speak it as well. And my sister and I can both communicate to her in ASL.
Decisions, Decisions. If I'm going to do it, I want to do it from day 1 hah. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It would confuse ME  but I'm sure babies would be able to pick them all up just fine. It amazes me when children are bilingual from an early age- it's fantastic. I wish I could. I learnt French at school, but I'm far from fluent in it. I'd go for it, you'll have one intelligent lil girl on your hands by the time she can speak!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | if you talk to them in 3 languages from the start then they should have no problems. I know my headteacher in school spoke to his daughter in english and his wife spoke in french to her, she naturally knew who to speak to in which language. I'd love to speak to my daughter in french too, but seeing as none of my family really speak french then it might not work!! i think its fab teaching kids languages as they pick it up so easily |
