This best-selling, easy-to-read guide provides sensible advice and practical help for families whose children are growing up with two languages, and for professionals working with them.

Every family's situation is different, but there is a good deal that parents can do to make life with two languages easier for their children. The trials and rewards of life with two languages and cultures are discussed in detail, followed by clear guidance on supporting the child's linguistic and cultural development.

  • new and updated Internet resources
  • information on the specific problems facing teenagers, and guidance on how to resolve them
  • new research into language acquisition
  • discussion of attitudes to immigrant communities
