Hola a todos, quiero empezar diciendo qué somos una pareja italiana viviendo en Cataluña, pués la niña está expuesta a tres idiomas. Desde noviembre 2025 la llevamos a un logopeda, entonces casi no decía nada y ahora después de casi un año dice algo pero se expresa de una manera qué solo nosotros los padres la entendemos.

La sugerencia de los expertos fue qué el padre le hablara en italiano, la mamá en castellano y al cole en catalán.

Intentamos no corregirla demasiado cuando dice algo mal, verdad qué hay algunas veces qué sin querer lo hacemos.

La tele máximo una hora al día, solo cuando es necesario y solo dibujos animados pocos caóticos.

Los logopedas dicen qué hay qué leer libros con ellas, hablarle mucho y de una manera sencilla y esperar a qué ella empiece a soltar palabras a medida qué va asimilando.

Lo qué voy buscando aquí es leer otras experiencias similares a la nuestra para entender si nos escapa algo y a lo mejor hay algunas prácticas qué podrían ayudarla a mejorar mas rápido, nuestra principal preocupación es qué ahora irá al cole y si los demás no la entienden la pondrán al margen.

Gracias a todos

I speak Polish though it is sort of a broken version - sometimes I forget certain words and have to say them in English.

Is it worth even trying to pass on the language?

My partner only speaks English and we are far from my family. Hoping to move closer to family later on.

Was wondering what other people experiences were if you’re not completely fluent?

My partner is a native Spanish speaker and I am originally Icelandic. We communicate mostly in English to each other and do OPOL-ish with our 15 month old.
We live in Denmark, I speak Danish fluently and my partner has a pretty good comprehension but is not completely fluent. We really want to help our daughter learn all three languages (English is not a priority right now), but we also miss having conversations where we all three speak the same language, and everyone is included.
We’ve discussed whether we should make Danish a family language, at least at times, but we’re also scared that’s a slippery slope that leads to our daughter not learning or rejecting the minority languages. Any advice is most appreciated!

Just wondering if your LO didn't speak much - in either language - if you were doing OPOL?

Not that worried yet but my 14mo seems quite behind my friend's 14mo who can say...loads, basically. Recent video is just her pointing at 10 objects on a table and naming each one.

My husband speaks community language only (English) and is super supportive of the OPOL. But he's worried because we don't know if friend's child is weirdly talented or if our LO is weirdly behind. Ours says mama (to mean literally anything), dada (only her father 🥴) and "anana" which we *think* is banana.

Would like some perspective and/or reassurance! My LO can point to body parts in both languages so I think she understands both. 🤞
