With celi we always use our mother tongue urdu/hindi at home.....and she understands both languages english aswell as hindi and knows common words in both languages... But from few days I had begun to wonder if speaking 2 languages is confusing her speech development in any way!.... At the same time I didn't want to change our habit of conversing with her in our languauge..because if we stop speaking then there is no way she can learn the language.... I truly believe in the theory that, the younger the kids, the faster they learn new languages....I somehow don't like it when people say that they switched to speaking english at home after the kids started going to school here abroad, because the kids get confused with learning two languages.... And then when the kids grow a little older, they send them to weekend classes to learn mother tongue!! When we parents don't speak that language with them, how can we expect the kids to learn the language through some outsider is what I don't get!!!????
