If a child is exposed to two languages at home or school, he or she will likely become confused and not be able to learn either language well.

Answer:

False. Learning a second language is easier as a child. They have more time to learn, less to learn, fewer inhibitions, and a brain designed for language learning. The child will not most likely become confused.

(Maybe add experiences? if you have learned 2 languages)

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

I learned both Spanish and English when I was growing up and I was never confused. Same for my mother and both of my brothers.
