Mixing Languages

by | 27th June 2019 | Bilingualism

Many bilingual children may mix up their two (or more) languages, this may be words or sentence structures.

This is a very normal stage of language development and is not a problem.

We advise parents to repeat and model back the sentence in it’s correct form at the time if this happens.

Don’t criticise the mistake directly, as this may make children reluctant to try next time.
