Since I know both Bengali and Gujarati, I would try to speak to my 1 year old son in both languages, but he would get very confused...we switched to English, and he started picking up words faster..maybe after a year or so I will try again - its a bit sad, but as long as the big picture isAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-36728765326035536422012-03-12T14:07:57.265-05:002012-03-12T14:07:57.265-05:00I was on a flight to Bombay and met a maharashtria...I was on a flight to Bombay and met a maharashtrian physician with 2 boys several years ago. The older boy about 5 spoke fluent marathi. I complimented her kids and asked her how the kids managed to speak so well. She told me that her son spoke very fluent english by the time he was 4 and she knew that he understood marathi.

I'd love to know your thoughts on kids speaking an Indian language at home. I am not very overly anxious or anything about it but, have been thinking about this topic. Even though we speak to our daughter in Marathi, she only responds in English. She goes to a daycare/preschool and it's the language she hears the most.
