Multilingual children's language development

Multilingual children often speak several languages in their everyday lives to communicate with family, friends and kindergarten teachers.

In principle, there are no limits to the number of languages a child can learn. However, to learn a language, you need to get the opportunity to both hear it and speak it a lot.

For children to learn languages, it is important to talk with them as much as possible and let them participate in the conversation on their own terms.

Children are more motivated to communicate and talk when they get to talk about something they are interested in.
