When will my child be able to learn another language?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
As Soon As Possible: Babies and toddlers brains are programmed to learn language. Regardless of language or culture, all babies and toddlers intuitively pick up language in the first few years of life. During early childhood, the brain is primed to pick up on the distinct sounds of different languages. Exposing your child to a second language early in their life makes it much easier for them to learn it.

Birth-5 is the age-: Span for kids to learn languges optimally. Bilinguality doesn't delay language; speaking one language better than the other & mixing words are normal. A child with a neurodevelopmental language impairment will have difficulty learning a 2nd language.
