Moms Talk: The Road to Multilingualism

A mom is looking for advice on the best way to her introduce her son to a second language - and which language to choose.

Each week in Moms Talk, our community of readers like you take questions, give advice and share solutions. Moms, dads, grandparents and the families who make up our community have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this week's question. Provide answers below in the Comments box, and submit your own questions to me directly at jimw@patch.com.

Q: I'd like to begin introducing my 13-month-old son to a second language, but am not sure how to proceed amidst the sea of options out there. A bigger decision is which language to choose? Spanish? Mandarin? Cantonese? French? What's your recommendation?
