Can a Baby Learn 2 or 3 Languages?

Question

Does anyone have experienced this with their babies? My husband and I speak English. But my parents Spanish and his parents Russian, so we are talking to our baby in all 3 languages.
She is 4 months old, I'm just curious to know if she'll be able to understand all 3 and hopefully speak them once she starts talking.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Answer

If there’s consistent exposure to each language then your baby will learn it

Answer

My husband and I speak only English, but we take our 19 month old to a spanish music class and will enroll him in a spanish immersion preschool when he is 2.5 / 3. I've heard that exposing little ones to more than 1 language can delay speech a bit, however in the long run there's no better time!!

Answer

My 4 year old speaks 3 languages: English from her father, French from me and Japanese because of school/daycare. She can have full conversations in each language. We started from birth. Took her a while to start speaking but when it started it was amazing. 
But you have to be consistent. So whoever is speaking to her in a particular language, cannot confuse her by switching up the languages. She only speaks French to me and only English with her father. 
Also, children from many cultures, especially in Europe learn multiple languages with ease because their minds are sponges.

Answer

Yes! Learning multiple languages is easiest before the age of 8 because the brain pathways the language center are pliable until then. I’ll be living in Korea until my daughter is around 3 or 4 (due in December). I’m learning the language now and plan on doing ABCs/123s and early language in a daily lesson format (English and Korean) like she would be exposed to in daycare. We will also be using English in the house & Korean when we are out and about.

Answer

My niece learned 2 languages from infant. I will say however it took her much longer to speak fluently. She was about 3.5 before you could understand her. But she is 6 now and fluent in both.

Answer

Most of the WORLD is bilingual. Yes, she can do this.
