How to Raise a Bilingual Child (in 20 years)

in language •  7 years ago 

Nice post! My wife's niece is very gifted. At the age of 2.5 years she's already fluent in 2 languages (Filipino and English). You might think that she was taught the 2nd language at home, but no. She learned all by herself. She learned through watching educational videos in youtube. Today she's already 5 years old and is already starting to learn her 3rd language (Italian). I just hope that she won't forget all the languages she learn when she grows up :)

Wonderful! I'm curious though. Do you have an idea why your niece picked up Italian?

Her parents are working in Italy and she was left to her grandparents here in the Philippines when she was 1 year old. About 6 months ago, her parents took her and they're now living in Italy :)
