Bilingual education

I was thinking about bilingual education at the early childhood. If I have had this opportunity in my life, of being fluent in English without leave my home country, I might not be here to right this post. Maybe bilingual education is a must if children are to succeed in the academic environment and in becoming more productive adults. Also, I think motivation is an important factor to help learning another language, and kids are always motivated to learn new things. I can say I had a tough experience in my first months living in the US and thinking in the way of kids learning English, my struggling could be shrunk. However, the experience of leaving in a foreign country is very valuable and nothing can replace it.

  1. This is very interesting topic. I agree with you that motivation is very important factor in learning new language. My husband is from Peru and I still did not start to learn Spanish. I promise to myself every day that next day it will be when I will start. However, we will teach our kids Spanish and Serbian and I hope that we will succeed in it.
