GPT-5 mini · Answer

False.

Research shows children can learn two (or more) languages at once without long-term confusion. Early bilinguals develop separate language systems, may temporarily mix languages (code-switching), and sometimes show a slightly slower rate in each single language but have a combined vocabulary comparable to monolingual peers. Bilingualism can also bring cognitive and metalinguistic benefits; persistent difficulties are more likely from limited exposure or a language disorder, not from bilingual input itself.
