Often these are English and Spanish.

Or just pick one and have him/her learn the second later it may not be a good idea to teach both at once. once your child gets pretty good in one language, then teach the other.

I'm english but strongly feel my baby will NEED to know spanish when she's older. I am trying to teach her both. I have bought DVD's for her that she watches in both languages. You can change the lang on the main menu. We watch Dora, Diego, Handy Manny, shows like that where they use both. I KNOW babies are able to learn both lang. The sooner you start teaching them the better they will be at it. If you are spanish then speak spanish as much as possible and have your husband speak english - they say babies can tell the diff between diff languages and not confuse them. When you teach her new words repeat them in both languages. My daughter doesn't talk yet so I'm waiting to see if it's working or not but I bet it is! She enjoys her videos just as much in spanish as she does when they are played in english. Good Luck I asked this same ques and didn’t get much response.
