A linguist is someone who studies the patterns of spoken language. But young children aren’t studying - they are acquiring it! Their brains are tuned to notice patterns in sounds, words, and meaning automatically, which means that your little one can absorb multiple languages simultaneously - as effortlessly as breathing.
The key to building multilingual fluency in early childhood is Language Stacking, a term that I coined for visual cues labeled in multiple languages.
While researching multilingualism in infants and toddlers, I found that Language Stacking was the most efficient modality for optimized cross-linguistic mapping. My daughter (also my test subject) astounds me every day with her effortless code switching and ever-expanding vocabulary in 4 very different languages.
Every child is a young linguist if you trust their awesome little brains and support them with personalized multilingual books!
