i was brought up speaking both english and german and know other people who where also. The common thing that runs through us is we either speak to one parent in one language and the other parent another. Failing that when the kids are really young and just learning how to speak whenever you say something to them you repeat in both languages.
i hope this helps. it my plan to bring up my kids in the same way when i get some.
most of all make it fun when they're young and try to keep it going when they hit their teens (had particular problem with keeping interest in a foreign language when i hit the teenage years- managed to get through it thankfully) .
