Blog

  

 

A really great article from the NY Times about how knowledge in different languages shape how we think.  Lots of great examples and some commonly held beliefs are thoroughly refuted.  Enjoy!

 

An interesting perspective on Spanish-speaking kids' insecurity when interacting with children at school and the community.

For those of you who exclusively speak a home language that's not the same as the one practiced in the community - do you think your child will face these difficulties?  What are you planning on doing to ease this situation?

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
