Multi Language family - Which language should we start first?

I’m now hesitating which language should I start with as there are 4 languages in my family at the moment i.e. Thai (me, my parents), Chinese (my dad and my husband), Japanese (my mom), and English (not native but used between family members…ah…it’s broken English :blush: )

In the future, my child will be in China and I plan to send him to an international school…of course he will speak English and Chinese fluently…Only Thai that I’m worry as there is only myself can use Thai with my baby. For Japanese, nearly hopeless as my mom is not always with me in China :huh:

Anybody have similar experience, I’ll be very happy to share idea with you. :slight_smile:

I hear you!
We speak English and Spanish but we may be moving to Germany and we also have a lot of spoken arabic around.

We are concentrating on English for literacy, mainly because we have better resources but I wonder if alternating languages while teaching with the BrillKids method would change the “results”
Anybody knows?
