Can a Child Be Raised Trilingual?

Being bilingual or trilingual can put young children somewhat behind their peers in English vocabulary development or grammar, but most catch up by seventh grade, says Camille Du Aime, head of the primary school at the Atlanta International School, a private school with immersion programs in Spanish, French and German.

Can a child learn 3 languages at once?

Yes. It is entirely possible to teach an infant two or even three languages, and four is not unheard of. ... If the language of the environment is a third language, then the child will easily learn the third language once they start playing with neighbourhood children.

Is it rare being trilingual?

Some estimates put the total of the world's trilingual speakers at just over 1 billion people. That's 13% of everyone on Earth! Being bilingual (speaking two languages) is much more common, though still somewhat rare within English-speaking countries.
