How many languages can you expose to a baby before they explode ?

I learned two as a baby it would have been nicer to know more .

I know a little girl who is about 7 yrs old and since she was a baby she was exposed to 3 languages on a daily basis. She can now understand and speak all 3 and she is only 7 yrs. I am quite impressed with her.

I have read many times that learning more than one language helps to develop intelligence in general. I think this little girl has had a great start to life which will help her in many ways. Learning another language while young is quite easy and natural as long as you interact with people speaking those other languages every day.
Wow. Impressive.

My nephew grew up with three. Lol.

He mixed all his words till about 5/6/7 yrs. old. ???

But he is a very bright kid nowadays.

@Umile18: Well good for him. I'm sure getting one's mind around 3 languages probably helps to get the brain doing it's gymnastics a bit earlier than usual.

I spoke three languages as a child, and I'm now fluent in 10 lol

10 ? Wow ! Respect to you. Are you serious ? That must be quite a brain you have there.

@Wraithorn: Lots of hardwork as well lol

@Meisje: And you are no older than 25 ? Impressed I am. Kudos to you.
Two is good. Three is pushing it. Gonna take a lot of time.

They will learn however many languages they are consistently hearing. Babies have the potential to lean most anything.

Two. They'll know both very well. Three will mean they barely know any of them fluently.
