We recently posted a fascinating article about how bilinguals switch between languages on ourFacebook page.
Parents often ask us for advice on raising their children bilingually.
Parents want to do it and educators want to help.
Educators who see children only once or twice a week are usually most concerned with exposure to the language.
The more exposure, the better.
Read about these situations inRaising Bilingual Children: The Snags.
While the rest of us are speechless.
Encourage them to make up their own stories, play dress-up and pretend in the second language.
Even painting, working with sidewalk chalk, or molding clay usually creates more vocabulary than art!
Did you grow up bilingual?
Are you raising your child(ren) to be bilingual or multilingual?
Do you teach children who speak other languages?
Wed love to hear your thoughts ^_^.
