‘ They Have No Need To Learn A Second Language’ Man Demands His Bilingual Wife Not Teach Their Daughters Her Native Language
Liucija Adomaite and
Austėja Akavickaitė
Raising your kids involves making a lot of life-changing decisions for them, so it's no surprise that more and more parents are seeking advice online. One young mom to two twins has recently taken it to r/AITA to ask people if it would be fair to raise them fluent in her native language. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but the problem stems from the fact that her husband doesn't speak that language, which is Welsh. The author shared her husband's concerns: "He believes they shouldn't grow up able to talk with each other behind his back" and added that "she gets the feeling he might be a bit concerned that the girls will love me more and speak to me in the other language in his presence," which would make him feel pretty left out. Read the full story below, and be sure to share your thoughts on what you would do in this situation. Recently a woman has asked people on r AITA whether she would be right to raise her twins fluent in her native language that her husband doesn t speak br

To find out what an expert has to say about raising a child bilingual, we spoke with Lynn How, the author of "Positive Young Minds" who specializes in supporting parents, teachers, and children navigating through mental health issues and prevention. "As a primary teacher of 20 years, I have worked with many children who are bilingual. These children bring so much extra to the classroom as their peers can find out about other languages and I'm always in awe of someone's ability to speak two or more languages as this is not something that came naturally to me," Lynn told us. She continued: "I have heard many times that if you can speak two languages then it is easier to learn a third or even more, so from that perspective, speaking two languages from an early age is very beneficial for future learning as well as career opportunities later in life. More importantly, it keeps the child in touch with their heritage and roots and by speaking their mother tongue (or tongues if their parents are two different nationalities), they are able to easily communicate with any family members who are not themselves bilingual." Moreover, by learning a second language of the country they are living in, children will find accessing education easier when they are of school age. "Without those basics of language to access the curriculum they are taught, they are behind before they have started. Schools should always support the situation of a child not speaking the main language taught as sometimes it is unavoidable, but if someone in the family is able to proficiently speak the language, then this would give the child an extra boost when they start school," Lynn explained. In the case where a mother speaks one language and a father speaks another, and they both insist on raising their children in their mother tongue, Lynn said that it is parental choice what languages are spoken at home. "We should respect this choice and plan how language can be addressed at pre-school and school if it is a barrier to learning," she said. How growing up in a bilingual household affects the child depends on the individual family, Lynn argues. "The general consensus currently on how to go about it is that parents should use whatever strategy promotes high-quality and high-quantity exposure to each of their child's languages." It's also important to realize that early childhood is a time of emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development. Meanwhile, "Bilingualism may or may not be a priority for families, depending on a child's other needs. As long as parents are mindful of what their child needs, then a bilingual household should be a positive experience for the child which will help them connect to their cultural roots as well as learn an extra skill," Lynn concluded. Most people thought the author was only doing good for her kids and this is what they had to say

In a study conducted using brain imaging, Andrea Mechelli of London’s Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience and her colleagues (which included experts from the Fondazione Santa Lucia in Rome) found that bilingual speakers had denser gray matter compared to monolingual study participants. Studies have also found that students that speak more than one language score higher on standardized college admission exams than monolingual students. A study from the University of Chicago found that children that speak more than one language are better at “putting themselves in other people’s shoes” and understanding different perspectives. It increases empathy. And many studies suggest that second language study helps enhance English language skills. Learning another language helps students learn about how language works and become more aware of their own first language 24 24points reply Load More Replies... La Di Da La Di Da Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Omg!!! THIS is so accurate! I learned more about English in my French classes than I ever learned in my English classes! I wish I could have learned these languages at an even younger age! I'm currently fluent in English, Semi fluent in Spanish and French and learning Japanese. French and Spanish were learned in school, Japanese on my own. Languages are amazing! Do your babies a favor and teach them as many as you can. Start teaching like yesterday!!! They're sponges! Before they can even speak, they can answer by pointing. I was a nanny for a baby and when he was about 6 months old, I would have him point out numbers on the clock asking him to find ocho, trois, seven etc and ask the question in their specific language. He pointed to them all accurately! He really loved the clock! He was learning those since birth. His dad is Spanish and his mom was learning French. Both knew English. 2 2points reply ADHORTATOR ADHORTATOR Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Teenage parents....
