Raising a trilingual child

Hello,

My first post on Mumsnet !

We have a nearly 2 yo daughter and live in the UK

At home, we speak 3 languages:
1)L1- mother tonge: Mandarin Chinese
2)L2- father tonge : French
3)L3- community language (English)

We practice One Person One Language (OPOL).

So far so good, but she counts 1 to 10 with a mix of 3 languages...

Shall I worry ?

Don't worry. DS3 did the same
Thing, he now counts in both languages without any problems. If she counts in different language, just repeat in your language. That's what I did. Good luck!

My DS1 did that (all three of my DC's are trilingual in French, English and German) and it sound strange, but just gently correct her. I found DS1 grew out of it as soon a she started school and using the three languages separately.
