A. Child is only six months old I don’t know how much is your child speaking as of now how much words is your child picking up as of now because initially if you introduced too many languages the child gets confused so you can start with two languages were in normal course we say English and Hindi are the best to start with otherwise you should first go ahead with your mother-in-law’s native language because you guys have to stay there only so best the child learn the local language and English along with it and then slowly by the time the child turns about five or six years old then you can go ahead teaching your mother tongue
