Hi,
My 22-month-old daughter speaks English most of the time however she can say several words in Spanish and can answer several questions in Spanish. I speak both Spanish and English to her.
I also started teaching her sign language at 8 months so she also knows several sign language commands. She often signs and says the words at the same time. It is my understanding that through signing she is using both sides of her brain, which really helps her development.
I have her in a Daycare two days a week to help develop her social skills since she is an only child. Her teachers often comment on how bright she is. She interacts with two and three year olds and is more verbal then most of them.
Maria
