A bilingual toddler...
A lot of people think that talking to your child in two languages is better than talking only in one, and I totally agree. Toddlers are just like sponge and this is a fact. While acquiring a language a toddler does not think "well, the sentence's structure is subject+verb+object+complement" no, this is not it. He just acquires sounds and with the passing of time he selects them in one area. In case of two languages he selects them in two areas. Of course at first he may confuse words and begin a sentence with a language and finish it with another but this will happen just in the beginning and later on he will be thankful to you because you gave him the knowledge of two languages.
