Sep 4, 2017 at 14:35 comment added Caterpillaraoz Look for studies on this please. I know many kids raised with two languages from day one and they all had zero problems, maybe (but just maybe) they started talking a few months later that the average. Do not let some "advice from professionals", IF provided to you without strong data to back it up, prevent your kid from having the GREAT opportunity of learning more than one language effortless!!!

Feb 19, 2012 at 12:37 comment added Lennart Regebro This is the general advice from professionals, and it has been borne out in my personal experience as well. I don't know if there are any studies on it. The baby will have trouble in separating the languages, and this becomes much easier if you are consistent. Then the baby will understand that you speak Swedish to dad and Italian to mum. The general recommendation is for one person to use only one language, but that's impossible in your (and my) case.

Feb 1, 2012 at 8:39 comment added Lennart Regebro Just a comment. Don't speak English "when we are all together". Speak Swedish to the baby. Always. Always. Always. Make sure everyone who knows Swedish always speaks Swedish to the baby. Speak English to your wife. If you need to say something to the baby that you also want your wife to understand, say it twice. Once to the baby, once to the wife. Keep this going until the child speaks Swedish reasonably well (so 3-5 years).
