Research sheds new light on how bilingual children learn words

At an age where learning similar-sounding words can be challenging, research says children learn best from people who share their linguistic experience, regardless of whether they are mono or multilingual.

Parents raising children to be multilingual often worry about whether the abundance and variety of language can hinder the learning process. But a new study published in the International Journal Of Behavioural Development suggests that efficient language learning is just a question of being paired with the right teacher.
