I think we'll be able to tell when they do. Guess that's a good time to start learning sign language lol.

Joking aside, I've come to understand that speaking a language in front of your kids that they can't understand isn't really a nice thing to do. Makes them feel excluded, and isn't really cool to do to an adult so shouldn't be cool to do to a child either.

Better to talk openly or just wait until you're alone. 👍 For all the parents out there.
