With more and more mixed nationality international families around the world, there is a growing need for advice for families that want to raise their child speaking two or more languages.
This book provides the framework that you have been waiting for; a step-by-step guide that gives practical and easy to follow strategies for raising your child in your native language.
The Five Key Strategies are set out in a logical order for you to work through one by one. Families that follow them will have the highest possible chance of successfully bringing up bilingual children.
It can seem like a massive challenge, but whatever family situation you are in, and whatever language you want to pass on, this practical guidebook will help get you there. And with a website and a blog that charts the author’s successful experience with his son in Spain, you can see for yourself how it is done.
Have fun. The bilingual journey has begun!
