maybe do signs up for things around the house in Gaelic? Then the both of you can learn the things together - make it a game for your son & it will help you both. Then hubby can join in.

My dad used to only speak different languages to me when I was a kid (he was a translator during WW2 and could speak 12 languages), only bad thing was he used to allow me to answer him in English, so I never learnt how to speak them, he died when I was 6 so no more languages for me after that.

I want my children to be bi-lingual. My step-MIL is Japanese so I want my children to be able to speak to her in her native tongue.

The cutest sight I ever saw was in London, on the tube, a father was holding his 2 year old and pointing out things and the child was saying what they were in English and French - I asked the mother about it and she said they were going to France for 6 months for work and they were teaching their son the basics of French before they went.

In schools here they do immersion learning, where you only speak the language for the whole lesson.
