The "normal" age, when the ability to learn a foreign language starts to decline, is around six or seven, and then even more so when puberty starts to kick in. However, because your daughter has been consistently learning and expanding her abilities, she is a step ahead of even other children who are fluent in two languages. Practice makes perfect!
