My partner lives in US long before we had a baby and soon enough, we'll be migrating to his place. What language do you think I should teach my son? English or Filipino? I don't want him confused, as I've learned that teaching two languages somehow delays speech, however, I also don't want him to forget our Filipino roots. What do you think is the best way to deal with this?

I have read an article about myths about raising a bilingual child. According to studies, confusion on the part of the child and having speech delays are all myths. In fact, it is encouraged that you expose the child to both languages if you want him to learn the 2 languages at the same time. http://www.babycenter.com/0_raising-a-bilingual-child-the-top-five-myths_10340869.bc
