I can chime in.

My wife is from Germany, and I'm from Portugal, we both speak English with each other which is easier (DE is very hard for me to learn), but she talks DE with the little one and I talk PT with him.

He can speak perfectly DE, PT, and English depending on which language he listens to, which is quite impressive for me as a parent.

He can even maintain a proper conversation and do translations between languages.

Sometimes he adds a word from another language in a phrase but he seems to know what that word is in the correct language.
