one of the easiest ways to make your child pick up the language is to use it more at home. you and your partner and other members at home can speak in English to each other. also use the same language to communicate to your child even if initially your child is not able to understand it. keep repeating and using sign language to help your kids understand and learn better.

Try to communicate with him in English. Watching educational programs in English would be useful too. Get them interested in the language they would eventually be willing to speak more.

If you want your child to speak a language more. The best way would be to speak the language at home. introduce, TV programmes, activities, books in that particular language.

Definitely helps if you and your husband speak english to your kids, so they interact more and use their english more. english television programmes definitely help too!
