Here are some tips to help your family get the most in your bilingual/multilingual journey
1. Set clear language goals: Discuss with your family why you want to raise bilingual children and what benefits they can have. Set clear language goals and ensure that everyone understands them.
2. Make it a family effort: Encourage everyone in the family to speak the target language, even if they are not fluent. This will help create an immersive language environment for your children.
3. Have a language schedule: Create a schedule for when each language will be spoken. For example, if one parent may speak the target language having a day speaking the language will help everyone set routines and learn new vocabulary. If no parent speaks the target language, make the effort to have some time during the day to learn it together.
4. Use bilingual resources: Incorporate bilingual resources, such as books, TV shows, and games, into your family's routine. This can help make learning fun and engaging for everyone.
