Laila and Marija (speaks 6 languages) explain in a way that is easy to understand how children learn whether there are disadvantages to learning two languages at the same time.
In short, it can be said that learning up to 3 languages at the same time is possible. It is important to have one caregiver per language – for example, the father only speaks English with the child and the mother only German. There is even talk of a combination where the father speaks one language with the child, the mother another and German is only learned in the kindergarten environment. This would also be theoretically possible, albeit difficult to implement.
If you do not have the situation that native English is spoken in the family, we at native4kids enable children to learn English as a 2nd language. Our coach (m/f) will be the English reference person for your child. In the playful environment, only English is used for various activities. Through this method, which is also known as language immersion, the child learns to understand the language and also to actively use it himself.
