Just Talk always in the second language and don't accept answers in the first language. The first language they'll learn quickly at school. I've learned a second language with 12 within a half a year.. but, I was raised with melodies of 3 languages.. so .. it's important that the melodies and the words are heard and memorized, because there are studies the older the kid is starting with hearing/talking, the more problematic it is for the kid to learn a language and grammar. One poor girl started with 12 and even the best trainings didn't result in error free language handling.. she never learned her own language.

For me. Learning a third language in school was more difficult afterwards. But not for long. Then the fourth and the fifth followed. So I have a affinity to languages. Or do math with your kid because that's s problem for me hahaha
