Does your toddler/preschooler know another language or are you teaching him/her new words?

When my girls were babies/toddlers they knew some of the baby signs we taught them.....and the only Spanish she knows is the numbers and what she has learned on Dora. I found an Usborne Spanish book and we are going to start teaching my youngest new words. When she starts PreK in the fall they have Spanish class twice a week.
Plus we are teaching them the ASL alphabet.

Bob knows a few Spanish words. Mainly what he has learned on Dora and Diego, but I did have 4 years in high school and will elaborate a bit with him. I have forgotten so much, and it helps me to remember a little when I am trying to teach him new words, lol.

My 2 older ones know some Spanish, we have alot of Spanish books and I try to do a little every week, at least a couple words or phrases. They also know alot of ASL. Actually we started with Spanish but they like ASL more so we ended up working on that more often, we've got alot of books for ASL and they have watched alot of the signing time videos.

We are working on some words. I am hoping to find a school where they can attend and learn some more or invest in some Rosetta Stone software.

My dd doesn't know any yet. She's a little young, but we will be teaching her as she gets older. Definatly in the next 6mts we will start learning probably spanish numbers and colors. She does know some ASL that we have taught her and she has seen on the Sprout channel.
