Anyone here with an international spouse? If so, what language will be spoken in your house?

Hi all, I am 34/F. Currently 24 weeks pregnant, or six months current symptoms are back pain, feeling tired and overall, just letting my belly grow. Baby girl is kicking and fluttering around.

AnyWho, I had a interesting question. I am American, born and raised in California . My husband (35/M) was born and raised in Brazil, and so I understand the differences of culture.

I can thankfully speak a good amount of Portuguese, but I lack the technical type, so it’s not so much slang, but I can understand it. I can also speak Spanish as well since both of my parents are from Mexico.

My husband has said that our daughter will speak Portuguese as her first language, and then eventually she’ll learn English either with me or in school. And, I will have to speak Portuguese to my daughter, which I don’t have a problem with, I just hope I say the right things. Spanish should learn on her own as well, as my mom can speak English.

For your household, will there be a dominant language?

Thank you ! Muito obrigada! Muchas Gracias!
