Trilingual by Six: The Sane Way to Raise Intelligent, Talented Children, by Lennis Dippel MD. As the old joke goes: “What do you call a person who speaks two languages? A bilingual. What do you call a person who speaks one language? An American.” 

If you have young children or grandchildren, Dr. Dippel’s thought-provoking book provides a fountain of ideas about how to help your child grow up multilingual (that is, not like the typical US-born American!) in the easiest fashion possible–by learning new languages during their earliest years. Learning a language at this early time allows toddlers’ tiny little basal ganglia procedural systems—which are then at their strongest—to soak up the rhythms and patterns in the easiest possible way. That is, by just listening and talking!  Incidentally, we have met many professors and business executives who have started out as au pairs. So if you use one of the approaches outlined in Dr. Dippel’s book and hire an au pair, (Dr. Dippel also has many other ideas) you may be providing a step forward in international acumen for both your child and the blossoming career of your au pair.
