For example, you have both parents speaking Polish and English. If a baby was born, what will his or her language be? Does it depend on the location of your birth?
Will the child be bilingual? How does it work?
In: Biology
Children don’t speak languages when they’re born. They pick up what they hear. If a child is born in England to English parents, but is then taken to Spain to be raised by Spanish parents, they’ll learn Spanish, not English.
I am English and my father is, but he recently had a child with my stepmother, who is French. The child is obviously growing up to learn English, as that’s where she lives, but her mother speaks French to her a lot of the time, in the hope she’ll grow up bilingual. And it seems to be working.
