i'll back up those who are supporting have a different language at home than the one they're hear all day long out of the home.
my son's mother and i are bother spanish speakers, and speak mostly spanish to our boy. he learns english from our friends and our family. he also learns some more spanish from our friends and family. we live in texas, where it is easy to practice and be exposed to both. so that's our theory. practice and exposure.... nothing new, just some support.
and one minor nit picky thing... you mentioned twice about how cool your kids will be because they speak two languages, i bet you already know what coming next... no, speaking two languages doesn't make you cool. but having a love and an appreciation for multiple cultures? now that's heading down the right road.
