Review
'This book is a valuable read which raises fascinating issues based on real life experiences; useful for parents promoting their children's ability to become fully conversant in the two main languages of their heritage and also to anyone studying children's linguistic development and emergent bilingualism.' - Avril Brock, Bradford College
Praise for first edition:
'A well-written and comprehensible guidebook ... offers readers the basic concepts of bilingualism and practical suggestions for the problems that naturally arise in everyday life.' - International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism
'Every family with two languages should have this book.' - The Bilingual Family Newsletter
'This outstanding collection of the key articles in the field is an essential guide for incoming students and a wonderful resource for bilingualism scholars.' - Annotated Bibliography for English Studies
'A book like this is decades overdue. ... Growing Up with Two Languages is an excellent guide for working through day-to-day issues of bilingual parenting and long-term strategies for dealing with such fundamental issues as children's cultural identity and social comfort.' - Naomi S. Baron, American University, Washington
In ^Growing up With Two Languages Una Cunningham-Andersson and Staffan Andersson provide a highly accessible account of the stages of language development, describe and evaluate the various systems and strategies that can be adopted and look at the problems that can occur when a child is exposed to two language and cultures.
The book is illustrated throughout with the real life experiences of fifty families around the world and concludes with clear practical advice on how to support and document a child's bilingual development and how to make the most of the internet.
'Every family with two languages should have this book!' - Stephen Ryan, The Bilingual Family Newsletter
'It's wonderful that this excellent resource for multilingual families has been updated. The original edition sits on a shelf at home with other well-worn companions of my early childrearing days, and I find it somehow comforting to know that the authors' children have - like my own sons - grown older, giving their parents not only new insights, but a renewed conviction that the multilingual path they chose for their family was the right one.' - Marina Zvetina, Board member, ImF - Interest Group for Multilingual Families in Germany
'Every family with two languages should have this book!' - Stephen Ryan, The Bilingual Family Newsletter
