If both parents are bilingual, what language will the child speak when he/she is born?

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?

Babies do not have language when born. They will grow up and speak what they learn around them.

A very good way to teach them is for one parent to speak one exclusively while the other speaks the other also exclusively. In this way the child is truly bi-lingual.

When both parents speak both languages the two can become mixed together with the child not being fluent in either.
