I am starting to be concern our method to teach the 4 languages to my daughter of three years old.We leave in Barcelona, I am Italian and my husband is Scottish, when my daughter was born we decide to speak with her our native languages ( Italian and English) and between us we speak English. Everything was fine with the Italian, English and Spanish,until when my daughter started the public school where they speak Catalan. She understand everything, but when she speaks she is create her words and she is using words no correctly and when i try to correct she refuse to do it! and a lot of times when we are not understanding her she gets angry and frustrated. I am thinking that 4 languages are too many! do we need to do something??

Perhaps other people you know can help her with that Catalan language. Can you arrange play-dates with kids who prefer to speak Catalan? That will be the best solution. I have read the information on other parts of this website. If I understand things correctly, it is normal for a three year old to be confused about the different languages. This problem will go away over time.daughter that you and your husband don’t speak all of the languages. This problem should also vanish eventually.our native languages (Italian and English) at home. Both of you could speak only Spanish in public with each other and with your daughter.
