We have 3 languages in our house and my 8 year and 10 year girls master all three languages (English, Chinese & German) without a problem.

Key in the early learning stage is the relationship of person to language and to repeat it

one person = one language

Our family conversation is happening in English and that is their native language by a distance. The girls do have daily Chinese afterschool program and with my wife using it daily it kept them very proficient. My German use is limited and I can tell they are getting a little rusty.
