When is a good time to start raising a multi-lingual child? Start by creating in the child a dominant language. A dominant language will be the language that the child will use most frequently and is the one likely to gain fluency first. This will aid purposeful understanding of what is being taught through association. So think of say, you learning to say the word ‘goodbye’ in English (which is your dominant language).
