OPOL

We speak in 3 different languages at home and as we live in a French speaking country, the 4th language is inevitable. At home we use so called OPOL method (one person, one language), each of us speak in our own native language to our daughter plus we speak English when we are together.so far it's not a problem because our little one is only 3 months old. I am just concerned about the future when she starts to speak and really communicate in all these languages.

I found here an interesting article about different language systems: http://www.multilingualchildren.org/getting_started/language_system.html
