I think we are on the same page - expose the kid to all three languages, unless some evidence comes up later that the kid has needs that conflict with this. By the way, I meant linguist in the sense that I have studied linguistics, not in the sense of being skilled in foreign languages. | |

| Oct 22, 2015 at 14:16 | comment | added | user16557 | "I will not argue against linguists" - feels a bit like a reference to my answer saying that I am a linguist.... I generally agree with this answer's emphasis on giving children a multi-lingual environment when possible. But there are other factors. Generally children have the capacity to easily acquire multiple languages, but there are children who do not. When a child is impaired in her language acquisition, it means that they have difficulties learning one language, much less multiple ones. In such cases, limiting the home to a single language is probably best. | |
