Bilingualism

Added on: May 16, 2025
Search

Approximately 17.5% of Canadians speak at least two languages. Learning more than one language does not cause language delay and does not confuse children. It is possible that a child exposed to two or more languages may say their first words a bit later than a child who is exposed to only one, but it should still be within the normal range of 8-15 months.
