While I'm not exactly bilingual, I would like to teach my children (when I have them) multiple languages, just because I think that the potential for learning (and especially for learning languages) is at its maximum during childhood.
However, I'm not quite sure what the best languages would be. I want to give them some exposure to a broad spectrum of languages. I know that the best way to learn a language is to actually use it. In this light, I'm wondering what the best balance between casually exposing them to a huge number of languages and learning them just one extra language really well would be.
- barry-cotter 9y agoI'm weak in French, German and Chinese and have even worse Spanish. Pick one language and let the child watch tv in it and only in it. Ditto for video games. If I was in the US I'd probably pick Spanish. It's one of the easiest languages to learn as a speaker of English. Pick one language.
