So, here is a very easy first step.
Look around your home and yard. What do you see? Chairs, tables, trees, doors, etc. Now, go to your computer and do a search for a multi-lingual dictionary. For example: to translate words from English to Spanish, I use SpanishDict.com
Okay, now type in the words one at a time and get the translation.
Examples:
Window – Ventana
Tree – Árbol
Next, make word cards with the Spanish (or what ever language you want your child to learn) and write the words on them.
Last step, put the word card on the object so your child can read the word in their new second language.
You can go further and work on learning the alphabet, numbers and colors in your new language. (You’re going to learn it too.)
Have fun, you never know when your new language will come in handy!
See you back here Monday with another great book that goes beyond reading.

I learned English as a second language, so I understand investing in becoming a bilingual can be time-consuming. I always try to find an easy to learn a second language.
Right now I am teaching my baby to learn Chinese, hoping she will become a bilingual in the future and not worry about running out of time of starting learning a second language.
Hi best4future! Thanks for stopping by again.
I feel bilingualism is vital in the world today. I'm glad to see that you are teaching your baby Chinese. You can use my ideas in any language, I just happen to know Spanish.
Yes, we can exchange links. I'll be revamping my side bar within the next week or so and I'd be happy to add you. Thank you for the reciprocal link.
