Dear Madalena,
I’m from the US and I live in Chile with my husband who is Chilean. I speak English with our son who just turned three and my husband speaks Spanish with him (we speak Spanish between the two of us).
We want to put our son in a German-speaking playgroup, but the speech therapists (fonoaudiologos) here tell us he’s not ready. We are not sure that this assessment is accurate since they tested him only in Spanish.
When can we introduce a third language to our son? Do you know of anyone who can help us here in Chile?
Many thanks,
Leah
