We have begun the task of learning 5 different languages simultaneously. We are studying Mandarin, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Koine Greek. Mandarin exposure began when my children were 2-3 years old. They were exposed to the language and picked up a couple vocabulary words. My children are currently 5 and 7 years old. My oldest son began with Rosetta Stone Mandarin when he was 5 years old. This school year we added Arabic, French, Spanish, and Koine Greek.
Five languages does seem like quite the feat to accomplish. We are starting while my kids are young so I do believe it is possible. Right now we are doing one language per day in each school week. Prior to 2009 our language study was inconsistent.
This blog is an attempt to relate our journey. In a way this is a case study. Is it possible for children to learn 4+ languages? Will we give up due to confusion? We will stick with the journey? I am choosing the curriculum and teaching my children these languages. My only history with the languages is a foggy 2 years of high school Spanish so I am learning along with them.
