[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's possible, at least, not without making your kid really miserable. Our daughter has arabic-speaking grandparents who live in our basement apartment, and she's in her 3rd year at a French immersion school. So despite having daily interaction with her grandparents in arabic (including reading, cartoons, etc), and doing very well academically in french, the only language she speaks comfortably and fluently is English. Sure, she can communicate in the other two, but I wouldn't call her trilingual. Even in ideal conditions, she hasn't shown that level of mastery. [/quote]
