Will speaking two languages confuse my baby?
ASHA, the American speech-language professionals' association, says children can learn more than one language, and that learning two does not cause a language disorder. Talk with your child in the language you speak best, often. If you are worried about your child's speech, ask your pediatrician about a speech-language evaluation.
