My daughter is 7 years old. She was born in USA and we are French. She has grown up learning both languages with no problem! She is now in a bilingual school and speaks English, French, Italian, Spanich. Her yearly average mark is 98.75%. Living in a multi languages environment is very profitable for a child. No perturbation, No delay, no confusion! See my video jacquesCinema. She was 4 in this 2009 video. 3 years later (2012), she is still very smart and speaks several languages beautifully.
I agree. I am multilingual (French, English, Spanish, some Italian). I mostly work in French, English, and Spanish (translation/proofreading and consecutive interpreting).

My friend Lookpla taught me some Thai. It's such an awesome language. Nothings like it. I love language. Teach your kids as many as you can!!!

Some caveats about code switching: (Using two languages in one sentence). Byers-Heinlein explains that, "high rates of language mixing make it harder for children to categorize words they hear. That could lead to slower word learning and smaller vocabularies. It also seems that it's more difficult to learn a word from a mixed-language sentence than from a single-language sentence."

Maybe with learning Korean and fully learning Japanese I can wedge myself in to a world market and not just the west. ^^ Btw... My iPod has 8 languages on it... Which also helps keep up with what I've learned. ^^ Its always a challenge. I love it.~
I grew up in a tri-lingual household, and it was never really hard. I learned German from my dad and Romanian from my mother, and at school English. When I came home I'd speak German and English with dad, while speaking Romanian and English with my mom. With my siblings we'd all speak all three with each other. My mother also knew French but never taught us.. Kinda wish she would've though. :) I kept up with German in high school since my patents got divorced and German left the house when I w
I have to ask though, if you choose English as the childs main language and lets say for example Michif, which is not wildly know outside of the family because it is Cree and Parisian French, will that have detrimental effects for them if they want to further branch out? Does choosing a language that is not common have any good or bad effects in general?
@Doctorwithnoname222 When you take your child to school and they tell you that your child is going to be learning Canadian French and they allready know Michif, should you pull the child from that class or make your child learn a third language? Just curios what your awnsers would be in this specific case.
People can justify anything. If Quebec spoke English just like the rest of Canada, and people don't feel anything upset or uncomfortable about it. Non of this justification or excuses is necessary. There are so many things beneficial and this video suggest one of the million ways to achieve good health. I still don't understand why residents of Quebec have difficulty speaking English freely and happily, and do whatever they want with the time left.
If you are going teach your child a second language, make it Punjabi or Cantonese as these are the languages that will over take french as commonly spoken in Canada very soon. french is obsolete.

skyscraper03 et toi ton français Il est comment?

C'est toi qui est obsolete.
well if you are on the west coast I guess, but if you cant speak french on the east coast, you are obsolete.
It's not clear, why it's could be obsolete to talk one of the official language of the country ?
