OK, I'm preg with our first and wondering how this will work really.
I don't speak swedish well so OH and I speak English at home with each other, OH's family speak Swedish with me when I am with them although a lot of them can speak Eng to an extent. Once the bb is 1yr he will go to the local nursery/school and speak Swedish there.
So I'm wondering is it really as simple as we talk Eng, other people speak Swe and he will learn both or do we need to be more active in teaching him Eng so he learns it properly?
Should we get Eng TV channels so he is watching some young kids TV in Eng?
(My dad was from abraod and I don't speak his first language so i'm just not convinced it will work!)
