Raising a bilingual child has its challenges: use our message boards to talk to one another about whatever comes up.  Members can also suggest meetups.  If you would like to h …

I am an educator and I deeply believe in the benefits of exposing children to other cultures in order for them to develop empathy and tools to relate in a multicultural society. Moreover, I find Spanish to be a very useful tool for our little ones to open doors in their future.  Finally, what better age to learn an additional language than when they are this young (0-3). It's effortless and they will have a native pronunciation IF we expose them often enough to the language. Check the most recen …
