What's it like to raise bilingual children? Curious about the challenges and joys of juggling two languages at home?
Join us in today’s episode! My guest Lucia Garrett and I dive into our experiences raising bilingual kids. Lucia talks about her journey with bilingualism and how it has been to raise her children learning Spanish. Lucia stresses the importance of patience and consistency, even when faced with challenges. We chat about the ups and downs, the struggles of finding good resources for teaching Spanish, and how to overcome them. I also shared my own story about my son's language skills and a heartwarming moment when he was able to help a family having a difficult time communicating. We discuss the benefits of bilingualism, the importance of encouraging reading and writing in both languages, and how to stay positive and determined!
