General advice for parents


Hey, guys! If you are parents who want to raise your bilingual child, there are some general advice for you!

Be consistent
       The best way to maintain bilingualism is to compartmentalize the languages, separating how and with whom each language is used, clearly and consistently.

Do what feels natural
       If one parent is more comfortable speaking English, it may be more natural for the child to hear one language exclusively from one parent.

Keep your child interested
       Encouragement and praise for spontaneously using a second language can go a long way toward enhancing the language acquisition.
