Has your partner ever struggled with your child’s second language?

What helped you bridge that gap? 👇

💡 Raising a bilingual child works best when both parents feel included, even if only one speaks the language.

It’s about connection, not perfection. ❤️

4️⃣ Be gentle:

If your partner feels pressured to “keep up,” they’ll pull away.

Invite curiosity instead of obligation.

3️⃣ Make it a shared project:

- Celebrate both languages.
- Watch shows, read bilingual books, label things around the house.

My wife has progressed from very basic Bosnian into a quasi-fluent speaker, just by listening to me speaking with my son.

2️⃣ Include them:

- Translate short bits.
- Share what you’re saying to the child.
- Teach them a few words, even small steps reduce the distance.

1️⃣ Reassure:

It’s not about creating a secret world. It’s about giving your child an extra bridge: to family, culture, and opportunity.

Literary Big Mac.

Parents: what’s your best trick for sneaking more minority language into daily life? 👇

💡Exposure doesn’t have to be complicated.

It just needs to be consistent, fun, and meaningful.

5️⃣ People matter: video calls with grandparents, cousins, or playdates with other speakers.
6️⃣ Special rituals: bedtime story, Sunday pancakes, family prayers… all in the minority language.

1️⃣ Read daily: books, comics, even labels.
2️⃣ Songs & Cartoons: kids love them in any language.
3️⃣ Narrate routines: “We’re cooking rice… now stirring…”
4️⃣ Play: games, role-play, silly jokes.
