Raising a bilingual child? On this page, our very own Director of Learning Design and Efficacy, Sophia Espinoza, addresses some common questions around the benefits of bilingualism.

Benefits of Bilingualism (FAQs):

Now that our world is more interconnected than ever, there are plenty of families where each parent could be from a different country in Latin America. Their perspectives are broadened and they learn to communicate cross-culturally. Sometimes kids may switch vocabulary when talking to different parents, which is totally fine.

I encourage as much Spanish exposure as possible. Use the Spanish you know, even if you may need to speak Spanglish.

Children are always going to learn English; Their world is in English, their peers speak English. However, it's important to give kids as much education as possible in Spanish. They will learn English at school.

Cognitive Benefits of Bilingualism:

By introducing your child to a second language early, you are giving them the chance to access the cognitive benefits of being bilingual. Research shows that bilingual brains have better executive functioning in focus, mental multitasking, and working memory.
