This film looks wonderful. I would like to share it with a few of my family members that still think that I am holding my kids back by speaking to them in Spanish. .-= Adriana´s last blog ..Easter pictures- Better late than never =-.

This looks fascinating! I would love to share it with my graduate class/cohort of teachers in public schools. I’m really interested to see it. Unfortunately, we don’t have television access, so a community screening would be of interest to me.

I’d love to see this film – my husband and I are English speaking only, but are putting our daughters in Spanish Immersion Kindergarten – 5th grade because we want them to have all the cognitive benefits and future opportunities that will come with speaking 2 languages.

Because I’m very interested in this type of education for my daughter and she’s just been accepted into one of these types of schools.

I would love this movie! We are not raising our children to be bilingual, but to be TRIlingual. I speak to them in French and English while my husband speaks to them in Spanish. My method so far is to speak to them mostly in French as babies, but teach them English words at around 12 months when they are learning to talk. Since we are homeschooling and live in the US, I knew she wouldn't have all the advantages of learning English at school like most children who are in bilingual situations, and this is why I do choose to do a lot of English. I also didn't want her English to be mediocre. She speaks and understands English and Spanish and understands French but speaks Frenglish. I wish we had dual language schools here in Atlanta, besides super duper expensive private ones. It would be very fascinating to watch the experiences of these four families and listen to what the movie has to say about bilingualism. .-= Julie´s last blog ..Flower and Planting Books =-.

I would love to watch this film!! I would like to watch it with my children and family, I think my oldest son is old enough to start understanding the benefits of being bilingual and I think this film will help him (he is in the no Spanish stage right no )

I like the film talks about bilingualism in general, not just Spanish-English bilingualism. I a believer of bilingualism, I think it just makes us stronger, so sad so many people don’t see it that way.

Thanks for the great giveaway chicas!!

I am so excited about this documentary! With today’s globalization, the need and benefit of being bilingual is tremendous. I am passionate about teaching my own children and my students about the importance of being bilingual and I think this documentary is a fantastic reinforcement tool. I would LOVE to win a copy! Thanks for posting this information and giveaway! Great topics from Spanglishbaby, as usual. Gracias.

I’d love to see this documentary because it explores bilingualism. I work in a bilingual middle school/high school and the issues spoken about in this film are real and hit home hard. I’d love to see how the ideas and ideals are approached through the protagonists and their families. This has been a controversial issue for decades as we continue to learn more.

This film looks wonderful! I would love watch/have a copy of this movie because I teach in a very small,rural community in which bilingualism is practically frowned upon. Parent’s look at bilingual education as a stigma being attached to there child, and instead will refuse bilingual education for their child. Our community needs to see how powerful an asset being bilingual truly is!
