Raising Multi-Lingual Children-gctid32738

[Kimathi]

I wonder... how easy/difficult is it to raise children from birth to speak two or more languages? Let's say if the parents are fluent in Twi and English.  What's the best way for parents to go about it? Would this confuse the children in any way?

Here in Kmt, who DOESN'T learn more than 2 languages from birth? Everywhere is not amerikkka where most are interested in being monolingual and really don't see the point of learning other languages. That type of environment is the exception to the rule in the world.

And the children do quite well...stay BlackNificent! :a7:
