I'm worried that learning two languages at the same time will confuse my child. Can this lead to delays in speech or language development?
Bilingual children meet the same developmental milestones as monolingual children. A bilingual toddler might mix words from both languages (ex. me gusta coloring [I like coloring]), but this is not a sign of abnormal development! The total number of words from both languages spoken by a bilingual child will be comparable to those spoken by a monolingual child. Usually by age 4, children can separate the different languages effectively
