Heya!
I'm due next year (in June) - my first baby - and I have been thinking about those early developmental stages. I wonder if there are any parents who would be interested in super-early language exchange. We could just hang out and chat to each other's babies in our native language so they get used to hearing the different sounds and rhythms and tones. I would love to give my baby the gift of an extra language.

Your baby won't learn a language this way. It takes a much bigger effort to teach your child an extra language.

Our children are bilingual with a third language. It's so much more work than meeting up and hanging out in early child hood.

Yes! I wasn't suggesting that they would magically learn the language from that kind of interaction, but I thought it would help to have the early exposure. How did you teach your children? I've heard the OPOL method is a good one? Would be so curious what you've found.
