The Early Child Bilingualism project

Introduction

What we want to know

  • If you want your child to learn a second language successfully, what's the optimal age to start?
  • Does an early start necessarily guarantee success? How early is early enough?
  • How much contact does your child need with a second language in order to learn it successfully?

These are the central questions in the Early Child Bilingualism project, currently being carried out by researchers from Utrecht University, the Meertens Institute and the University of Amsterdam, in partnership with researchers from the University of Edinburgh and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

For this project, we are currently looking for families in the Netherlands with children growing up with English and Dutch. We’re looking for two kinds of children: children who are being brought up with English and Dutch from birth, and children who are being brought up with English from birth and who first come into regular contact with Dutch at a later age.
