I've been teaching my 2.2 yr old son 3 languages since birth. I speak 60/40 Chinese/English to him and my wife speaks 100% Japanese to him. We only let him watch around 1 hr of TV a day, a mix of 3 languages too. So far, he's vocabulary is only ba(dad), ma, and go (throw toy for our dog to fetch).

I wonder if his confusion over the 3 languages pay the major part for his late speaking abilities, or if he got too much of my left brain genes, or a bit of both. Anyone here with experience teaching their kids 3+ languages since birth? What was their speaking ability like around this age?
