Bilingual Education Articles

I had many questions when I embarked in this journey with my son. The best tip I can give you? Educate yourself and start by reading about bilingualism. Here I post bilingual education articles to help you understand the process and to make it smooth.


When I started looking for articles about bilingualism I found there were not in one place. I surfed the net for days, reading, learning, and compiling information.


I bought several books, read them and talked to my dear friend in Colombia who is an equinotherapyst and phonoaudiologyst (the person who knows about the development of human language and its disturbances,) and decided I would provide a bilingualism corner where parents like me could read about our experiences, research on bilingualism (in easy terms) or simply educate ourselves about the basics of bilingualism.

After living the process, I think the best option is to familiarize yourself with the advantages of bilingual education, how is the process of raising bilingual in Spanish children, and the importance of Spanish language when trying to preserve Hispanic culture.
