5 biggest mistakes parents make when trying to raise bilingual kids

1. Expect their children to learn a second language within 6 months or less; when it takes up to seven years of fully immersion.
2. Pull out their children from their bilingual education because they don't see immediate results.
3. Don't encourage their children to read or practice their second language at home. There are so many online resources that parents don't even need to be bilingual themselves.
4. Deny reality. Our children will have to compete with companies and/or employees all over the world and educated people everywhere else in the world speak at least 2 languages.
5. Don't realize than education is a long term investment, not a temporary expenditure
