01/13/2004: "What is bilingualism?"

Excellent short piece of work here on Bilingualism, i haven't read it in depth but at first glance it looks really good. It not only explains what bilingualism is but also gives good information on strategies for introducing a second language to a child.
Those of you with kids may know this but the context in which a child learns a second or third language is vitally important. Generally each parent acts as a context for the language they speak, so if 1 parent suddenly introduces another language they could confuse the shit out of the child.

I can advise more if needed? As I have a bit of experience on this now ;-)
check out the article.
