I've encouraged Joe to speak in both Arabic and French to Emma because I want her to be exposed to different languages from birth, but also because I'd like her to retain as many phonemes as she can (children lose the ability to speak certain phonemes that are not part of their native language unless they are exposed to them in the first year). So here is a video of Daddy talking to Emma in Arabic (conversation translated below).
Daddy: "Good Morning, my daughter."
Emma: "Good Morning, my father. How are you?"
Daddy: "Good, thank God. And you?"
Emma: "Good, thank God."
Daddy: "What are you doing today?"
Emma: "Nothing."
