My wife is Japanese and we have a 3 year old daughter. My daughter is only comfortable speaking Japanese.
I notice she will understand almost everything I say to her in English but will not respond in English or if she does she’ll have a really hard time getting the words out.
I am curious if others have also experienced this? If so, any tips? I really want her to grow up bilingual. And hopefully without a strong accent when speaking English.
(sorry for any typos in mobile)

The Han Solo/Chewbacca sort of back-and-forth?, right? I I have something similiar with my oldest
Do you and your wife speak Japanese at home? Does your daughter have access to places where English is the main langiage being apoken?
