Salam Sonia and welcome to the forum,

I have been teaching my toddler many languages, the main three are Arabic, French and English. If you speak these languages at home, it is very easy for him to pick them up. Our method? We follow a schedule and we don't mix languages when we speak, we also try to boost multiliteracy with early learning programs. For the languages I am not fluent in or I don't speak at all, we heavily rely on the media. We usually have a left brain program (like Little Pim) and a right brain program (like LR, Wink to learn, etc.) supplemented with apps and books.

You can check out the free LR files in foreign languages. Here are those that I have been uploading. I will try to continue adding some every now and then isA.

For more details, here is a link to some of my blog posts: http://babyalbab.blogspot.com/search/label/Activities%20by%20age

I hope this helps.

dear A_BC,
I congratulate you for the work you done .. your child will certainly thank you when he will old and I'm proud of you.i have a question: is it not a good idea to make him learn a language at the some day for example French in the morning, Arab at afternoon and English at the evening .. or it will be a source of confusion .. thank you

Salam Sister,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I am sure your baby will be proud of you as well isA. In my humble opinion, your baby is less likely to get confused as long as:

- you are consistent in your schedule,
- you do not mix languages in the same conversation,
- you reinforce learning by using flashcards, etc.

Most importantly, don't wait for immediate results. When your baby will start speaking in sha'Allah, he may mix languages in the same sentence (like mine
