It does take a lot of work to raise a child to be bilingual! But I am dedicated in my quest to raise my son in a bilingual home. I’m an American, married to a Brazilian, living in Brazil. My son was born here – only 2 months ago. This is to my advantage because I speak to him in English and my husband in Portuguese (as does everyone else but our native English speaking friends). I have worked hard to collect books and movies in both languages. I sometimes speak to my son in Portuguese (since we are a Portuguese speaking home), but I try to keep it to a minimum. I’d like to remain in Brazil for a few years because I really want my son to be fluent in Portuguese.
