I live in the US but I'm originally from Poland. My husband speaks only English and I'm trying to teach our 27 month old daughter Polish as my parents don’t speak English. She understands everything in Polish, but she only answers in English. I tell her "I don't understand" in Polish and after couple times she finally blurts out what she wants in Polish. Is that what other kids do too? I'm afraid that if I don't do something quick she will understand, but never speak the language.
