Bilingualism
by Jo Bertrand
Being the mother of two potentially bilingual children (the youngest is only three months old) and the teacher of French and English bilingual children, the subject of bilingualism is very important to me. In fact we have recently moved to China and are now considering multilingualism. But what are the advantages of learning several languages from an early age? What are the dangers? Whats the best way to teach your child two or more languages simultaneously? I dont suggest I have the answers here but like most mothers and teachers I certainly have a point of view!
Hello everybody! I have to agree with the article. I think its very useful to be a bilingual child, because you can speak two different languages very good. But its very important for that children to know which language is the main for many situations and relatives from both parts of theirs families. And it may be difficult for very young children. But I would like to be a bilingual child:o))

We should pay attention to bilingualism because in the contemporary time is absolutely normal that child has parents from another countries (the world is so endless). These children have lots of advantages for the future and also wild views of others cultures around them, therefore they can be more polite and literate then others.

Although there are some disadvantages of "bilingualism" I think that it is really useful in nowadays. If i could choose, I would have chosen this way because how I already told its useful, important and cool :). So I think I quiet envy this people. However I can speak only one language, I have to try learn more to find some quality job or to move somewhere abroad. And that is the reason why I have read this article. I have to learn more and more!

If I had parents who are different nationality, it would be easier for me to speak both languages. Unfortunately my parent are both Czechs so my only chance to learn for example English, is going to school. I know a couple of people who have mixed parents. It's very good experience for children. They can learn more about their cultures, languages and
of course more about their entire families. I envy them a little. They are lucky because they can speak two languages easily and fluently. If I had a choice, I want to have child who will be bilingual.
Submitted by HonzaR on 30 September, 2012 - 05:09. Czech Republic Hi there! I found this article about bilingualism pretty interesting and informative. Knowledge of more languages could be advantage for everyone and its nice, that some children have opportunity to learn about different countries, their languages and culture from parents which was raised on different places. Maybe, its quite hard to manage that home situation. I mean - divide which language is spoken where, with who and so on, but if parents master it, children have wonderful possibility to expand their knowledge and all disadvantages are getting lost.
Submitted by KaterinaCZ on 28 September, 2012 - 16:33. Czech Republic Hi all, I found this article quite interesting and I think bilingualism can be a really great thing for the children. However their parents have to manage with the situation and agree on many details about bringing up a child. After that their children can have a wonderful childhood and more wonderful life with speaking fluently two languages. If I could choose, I would prefer for my children being bilingual, but it is in the stars.

Bilingualism isnt concern me because both of my parent are Czech so I have learnt English at school only. I have never been in England and other English speaking countries. I think that child whose parent are of different nationality has huge advantage. I know that children learn and understand things faster and easier than adults.They dont worry about anybody, they arent afraid of anything. Speaking two languages has definitely only advantages no disadvantages.
