[...] We’re nonconformists because we won’t believe any of the myths thrown our way by those who seem to know better than we do and have never read or researched the plethora of facts surrounding the incredible benefits of the bilingual brain. [...]

Dear Danielle,
You are not alone raising multilingual kids, I have 2 of my own, they are 6 and 3 yo and they can pick up more than 3 languages while the eldest one start the fourth one slowly . I have found no difficulties in raising them in even 3 languages, what I feel the success keys are all start at home. Me and my husband, we are communicating in English, me and my kids are Bahasa Indonesia, and kids to dad in Urdu (native language of Pakistani), Initial they r still (and still is) using some words in English or in Urdu to the words they couldn’t get in bahasa, I don’t think it’s a big deal, because every kids will develop their vocabulary accordingly.

My husband and I were born in Mexico and brought to the U.S.A when we were preschoolers. Our native language is Spanish. We spoke spanish at home and English at school “stictly”. When we both met we interacted speaking only English. We got married and now have three beautiful children. I tried speaking all spanish with my first born but wasn’t consistent. All three children speak the community language which is English. I wish I could say thier domminant language was Spanish…it’s not. The oldest is 9 and the youngest is 4. It’s hard to balance the languages since my husbands and my language is mostly dominant in Eglish. We had no formal education to support our native language so this makes it hard to sometime be discriptive in our native language. Is it too late to teach my children their harritage language? Where do I get support? Thank you

I raised two bilingual children and they succed in school with good grades took additional spanish classes in school and went on attend college. They both have found the they being bilingual has made a difference in their employment. I taught ESL in the 70′s to spanish speaking children and their parents. The children went on to do quite well in their classrooms and keeping their spanish language and heritage.

Anybody who says learning two languages at once will slow language acquisition needs to meet my Cotorra. Glad new studies are debunking that myth.
