There is an interesting article on the NPR website about the benefits of bilingual education. Raising five bilingual children is sometimes not easy because many people are not comfortable with the thought that my children can and do speak a language that not everybody understands. So it is nice to sometimes be reminded of the possible benefits.

I think it is wonderful that your kids are bilingual :-) x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, San! Most people think it is great, but some do not. They feel kind of threatened.
DeleteOf course it's beneficial!!! What could be better than know more than one language?! Knowing two or three or four! (It's a great article for the naysayers!)
ReplyDeleteI tried to throw in some extra languages, but they are only fluent in two. Maybe they will get a chance to learn more French and Latin and Biblical Greek as time goes on.
