Is the Dutch language
suffering because of
bilingualism?
|
Following a
Radio Netherlands Worldwide article about bilingualism in kids I wrote a
blog post on Life with a Double Buggy. The conversation and discussion has been popular on Twitter and on the blog - the short version is that the article reported that the Dutch
consultatiebureaus advise parents to teach their children open language only - and therefore do not encourage bilingualism in children here. This goes completely against my own experiences - and that of many others.
