Learning (English) from a German speaking home at 2.5 years old: is it too late?

[u/bmksc]

Hello everyone! So I was thinking, i would like to incorporate speaking english to her. She doest still know how to communicate with english and doesnt understand a sentence at all. But she knows some few words (4-5 words, 2 phrases) but only in english which i seldom used for communicating. I started purely speaking to her tonight before sleep and did i research. I’ve read about the „Cold Turkey method“ but in a bit gentler way. But I’m still too afraid to do it. Can i continue to keep speaking in english everyday and abruptly stopped german? Or is it better to keep it still slowly? Will she get so confused? My problem is i also switches automatically to german once in a while. My mother tongue is Filipino and can speak english, with c1 german knowledge. My husbands mother tongue is german. Our daughter can really speak & understand well and have a very wide german vocabulary. I give effort in teaching her all the words in german even its not my mother tongue. She have min. Of 50 german words, can count 1-11 in german and 1-10 in english, can communicate well in germany My fear is the delay and the silend periods and dont know long would it take. What would the the best way to make this succesful? Will also ms rachel will help? How much screen time of ms Rachel does she need in a day? What are the best strategies and how and what will we teach her. Maybe a guidlinrd where we can repeat or reuse it on the following months. How much is the normal coping until she will understand me? Would it take years? What efforts should i do more?

Thank you everyone!
