Subject: He will be fine

The first months he will observe and repeat what the other kids will do. You need to be patiente to repeat basic words, as bathroom, water, hungry,... trying to explain with your hands and showing him what these mean. Soon he will either repeat the words or trying to be comfortable first and them start to talk. When my daughter went to Preschool her teacher said: "continue talking in Portuguese at home, she will learn English, don't worry". I was little affraid but we did that. She listenied for two months and then she started to talk sentences. Now she is in first grade, speaking, reading and writing English very well and speaking, reading and writing Portuguese at home. Your kid will play and copy his "friends" and he will be fine. Don't look at him differently, he just need time and your patience.
