It's really fascinating. At 2 months old, my daughter reacted differently when people spoke German around her instead of the English my wife and I primarily speak at home. It's the same reaction when my wife and I speak German to her as well, so she's almost certainly not reacting to "new" people. Now, we're trying to speak bilingually as often as possible (which is hard as hell because neither of us is fluent in German - merely conversational). Hopefully it will stick and our daughter will still get some benefit.
