We moved days after DD's first birthday. Now she's 19 months and I'm still waiting for her to start speaking. She repeats stuff (mama, daddy, baby) but only if we say the word first.
In the local language (she goes to a nursery four days a week) she can say a couple of words but again, only when prompted.
I'm not worried at all, I know it will come. But I've heard that bilingual children can take longer to start speaking than non bilingual children, so I'm just curious to hear if others have found the same thing.

When did your bilingual baby/toddler start speaking?
