MAMA MIYA talks BILINGUAL HOUSEHOLDS!

J'ai grandis a Montréal parlant Francais, donc c'est important que ma fille soit bilingue aussi. Je lui parle qu'en Francais et j'utilise quelques methodes afin d'enrichir son Francais. Est ce que vous venez d'une famille bilingue? Avez-vous des suggestions? Laissez moi vos commentaires!

Growing up in Montreal, I was raised speaking French. Therefore, it's important to me that my daughter is raised knowing it too. I only speak to her in French and use a whole bunch of tricks to make sure she's using and absorbing it. Were you raised bilingual? What was that like for you and how did your family do it? Tell me in the comments!

@annalovesu412 Love that!

Cou cou Miya! I hope you see this. i was wondering your thoughts. I'm american was fluent in French (during college and a bit after) and now my french is okay..rusty..and i can speak way better then write. Do you think WHEN I have children it would be good to speak in french, (although not perfect) and have my children watch everything in French so they get a grasp..even though again my french is not perfect. English is my first language. merci bcp miya!

[MIYA]

@stephmm2004 Yes definitely! But you would have to be very consistant. Even if not perfect, it would be good to learn another language...:)

OMG YOU ARE CANAdiAN!?!??!?!?!?!? same! thats amazing!! <3 i'm in french immersion!

[MIYA]

@lulugirl37 yay Canada!

I am a first generation Filipino Canadian and what my family did is what you do. Since she is going to go to an English school at like 4, she'll sponge it in and in public places too where people speak English. I think it's good you're doing this Miya, great job!

[MIYA]

@basicbooknerd Thanks!

[gotfunk8]

What you're doing is perfect by speaking french all the time and constantly surrounding her with that. I think the most important part of that is just keeping up with it over the years!

... it may come to a "double semilingualism". However, it is proven that children will definitely profit from bilinguism .. Did you know that it delays dementia for about 5 years?

Anyways, loved this video, subscribed <3

This may be late, however, I still hope you'll read this :): I actually just learn some aspects of bilingual teaching in my recent class (I was raised bilingual myself, German and Finnish). The most important thing is that you stick to one language and your partner to the other or otherwise the child will get confused. I don't know about your current relationship status, but you definitely have to make sure that the child continuously and intensively deals with both languages, or...

My parents always spoke english but also signed everything they said. So all three of my sisters know sign language as well as english. My parents just thought doing it with us would be a good way for them to learn so as something to do while my mom was pregnant together they would go to sign language class at night. 9 months later they could sign almost anything. Then they just used us for practice :)
