My Bilingual Family

There’s no handbook on how to raise bilingual kids. It can take a lot of effort to pass on language to your children. But you’re not alone. Join host Dr Elaine Laforteza to hear the stories of families struggling with passing on language, and get helpful advice and practical tips from experts including speech pathologists and linguists. Raising children bilingually in English-dominant countries requires persistence and resourcefulness, especially if your mother language is not widely spoken. But it’s worth the effort because the benefits for kids are immeasurable. My Bilingual Family is hosted by Dr Elaine Laforteza. Produced by Masako Fukui and Sheila Ngoc Pham.

    So authentic and empowering!
    I am raising bilingual children in the USA, and actually blog about it over at Mama Llama Linguist. I listen to quite a few podcasts on bilingual parenting and was delighted to find this new one. It is extremely professionally put together and so authentic. Thank you Dr Elaine for your insight, tips and encouragement. I will be sharing this with my readers. Looking forward to many more episodes in the future. ~Corrie
