English and Spanish are the two languages every person should know if it's available to them. Teach your son French as a 3rd language.
I would speak English in the house and allow him to learn Spanish outside the home. Being bilingual is great in the world we live in...
I grew up with a girl that spoke spanish only at home and English at school. She speaks both languages fluently! I was always impressed by her.

coach him as many languages as you could. the more youthful they're the better that's to coach them because they don't imagine some thing about it. As they grow old they strengthen prejudices and it isn't as elementary to %. up. i'm partial bi-lingual. My moms and dads are fluent in french. I detect innovations on the thanks to communicate both English and french at the same time. even as i began kindergarten i did not favor some thing to do with the french language because i develop into the in elementary words one which knew it and that i did not favor to be diverse then anybody else so I repressed the language. even with the indisputable fact that, to this day I understand french almost as well as I understand English, yet i visit't communicate it. So therefore your son will carry what you coach him. all and sundry that tells you training him yet another language does no longer understand what they're speaking about!! there have been research in this and also you would possibly want to ask any bilingual individual.

I would just let him understand the Spanish language very well so he wouldn't have problems at school, then I would teach the other languages once he got to like 2nd or 3rd grade.

If you plan on doing it at all, Right now is the time. Their little minds are like sponges. They want to learn at that age.
