Teaching Children Different Languages

I have these photos of Olivia on Facebook, Jeff taught her how to 'sign' I LOVE YOU:



My super cool friend, Wendy, made a comment about teaching kids more than one language and teaching them to sign. This is definitely something I think is important and deem really valuable to our children. Let's face it, the USA is a 'melting pot' of so many cultures and languages, our children will almost HAVE to know other languages, just to survive. That's a sad fact but that's a topic for another time.

I've pondered teaching them myself, but sheesh, I am so lazy sometimes. I need to get my stuff together and prioritize! I have old text books from school, one is Spanish and one is French - I could look over those and then maybe teach the kids a bit of each language. I think my best bet is to look online for cheap used textbooks so I can find more of what I really need, rather than use college books. That definitely makes more sense.

Do your children know more than one language?
