Mother language and second language
My son is 2 year old. We are currently talking in tamil language. My son is just started to talk In tamil but not Fully..due to official work, we are shifting our family to Hyderabad
In Hyderabad schooling, there is no tamil. He has to study either hindi or telungu. We don't know telungu. Whether this will be language barrier to my son? .. without learning his mother tongue language, will he be able to learn other language in school?. Or should we plan our son to study in tamilnadu for initial 5 to 7 years to learn tamil first?

Well I got your concern
First teach your son your mother tongue, you can teach him at home with personal tution by you only, rest other languages he may learn in school
Kids brain are so powerful they can learn any language later on....
If you have any concern then we can discuss over teleconsultation
Thank you

Hello,
It's better to learn our mother tongue first, and later on all other languages can be learned.
Continue with your tamil followed by other languages.
Take care.

Hello!
Children exposed to multiple languages learn very fast. You can speak to hin in Tamil. watch Tamil content on Tv or listen to Tamil radio with him .
He would eventually be able to learn both languages. Do not worry. In mixed heritage marriages children learn their mother tongue and also second language very well.
Next Steps
Continue teaching him Tamil at home. You can choose any other language as his second language at school.
