  1. Wow, your kids are learning multiple languages! How does that work? Do you do them all, all year? Does it cause confusion? I’ve thought of adding a second language, but wasn’t sure if it would be too much.

    1. Yes, we do them together and spend some time with each. It hasn’t caused confusion since the languages were quite different from each other.
