Product Description
Product Description
If you would like your children to experience the benefits of becoming bilingual, but you aren’t sure how to teach them a second language, then Raising a Bilingual Child is the perfect step-by-step guide for you.
Raising a Bilingual Child provides parents with information, encouragement, and practical advice for creating a positive bilingual environment. It offers both an overview of why parents should raise their children to speak more than one language and detailed steps parents can take to integrate two languages into their child’s daily routine.
Raising a Bilingual Child also includes inspirational first-hand accounts from parents. It dispels the myth that bilingualism may hinder a child’s academic performance and explains that learning languages at a young age can actually enhance a child’s overall intellectual development.

Format:Paperback
If what you are looking for is a discussion on different aspects of bilingualism, then this is a good book for you. If what you are looking for is clear guidance on how to raise a bilingual child, then this book may leave you frustrated. It keeps telling you pros and cons and debating different views and opinions, but it does not give you well defined guidelines, it is not a 'step-by-step guide' as you are promised on the cover.

I haven't finished yet, but my wife has read it completely and I like the style of the book to just throw in some various ideas about raising kids with two languages. There is not a right or a wrong way, but as long as you make the effort I believe it is possible. This book have given us a big headstart.

This is the best book I've ever read about this subject. Easy to read but interesting and useful. I strongly recommend this book if you are interested in bilingualism and if you have children and want to raise them as bilinguals which is not an easy issue.
Thanks to the author.
