Learn Languages Early With Intensive, Immersive, Ongoing Human Interaction

For bilingualism or trilingualism, earlier is better, ideally before age 12 if one hopes to avoid an accent later. Learning improves with more intense, immersive exposure over longer periods, but early exposure must be maintained or it can be lost. Real human interaction is preferred over passive recordings alone.

“my understanding is that if one wants to become bilingual or trilingual, best to learn those languages simultaneously during development, ideally before age 12, if one hopes to not have an accent in speaking them later.”
