Is it better to focus on one foreign language or introduce multiple early on?

Introducing multiple languages early on is totally doable, especially if the child has consistent exposure and plenty of opportunities to practice. Young brains are built for language, and they can tell the difference between French and Mandarin the same way they know the difference between macaroni and mashed potatoes. That said, it’s often more practical to focus on one language at first. This helps build confidence, vocabulary, and a strong foundation. Once they’ve got the rhythm of one, adding another can be much smoother. But if your household naturally uses multiple languages, go for it. Just be patient with the process, because even little polyglots need time to sort it all out.
