  4. Multilingual Families In Germany Multilingual children enter a decisive level of development when they go to school. German becomes the dominant language in schools and it becomes a stronger language and the second language recedes into the background This creates a problem in the family such as alienation from the child’s cultural and linguistic background For bi-national families, it is recommended for the parents to speak to their children in their mother language for the first five or six years. In Germany, for multilingual families, the children tend to speak their mother language at home while they develop German in school.
