[quote=Anonymous]PP here who commented that he might be confused by too many languages.  My brother's children speak two languages at home.  They also live in a foreign country and attend schools/daycare where a third a language is spoken.  As a result, they have been slower to speak and take off with reading/writing.   My father (the grandfather) thinks it is just too many languages for their brains to process.  My brother and his wife aren't concerned at all and they think exposure to multiple languages will benefit them in the long run.  If I were in your situation, I would probably delay  this particular school (or try seeking out a new place that has a last minute availability).  However, I wouldn't necessarily be concerned about his languages delays generally.  He will get there eventually.  A little girl in my daughter's school speaks Chinese at home and was very slow with English.  She seems to have really taken off this year since turning 2.5 and is speaking just as well as the other kids.  I think it can just take some time once you start introducing multiple languages.
