show me a 7-year-old kid who is fluent in five languages? Or even four?

I met those kids - they live on Aruba and speak five languages by high school graduation.

the percentage of Europeans who are multilingual are higher than that of Americans

Once the illegals in the USA have a "path to citizenship" I suspect we win that race as well. :-)

"In major metros of Central, South and East India, many children may be fluent in four languages (the mother tongue, the state language, and the official languages of India, Hindi and English.) Thus a child of Gujarati parents living in Bangalore will end up speaking his or her mother tongue (Gujarati) at home and the state language (Kannada), Hindi and English in school and his or her surroundings."
