Bringing up Baby Bilingual

In this story there's a man name Jayme Simoes, and he spoke English and Portuguese. When he left Portuguese he went back to Chicago and lost his second language for 3 years. So in order for him to get his second language back he spent the whole summer in Portuguese. Then he got married and he's hoping that his toddler son Marcus will grow up to be bilingual also. Mr. Simoes is now teaching his son Portuguese and they have traveled to Portuguese twice. He reads, speak, and listen to music in Portuguese. Now Marcus knows how to say hello and bye in Portuguese.
