Thank you so much for your videos! I’m trying to raise my daughter (7 months old) bilingually in my non native language Spanish. Your videos give me so much insight and make me feel more confident that I am able to do this journey.

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, you can do it! I'm so glad that my videos and sharing my experience has helped give you more confidence 😀 . There are a lot of success stories out there; we just don't hear about them often enough!

You mentioned register only in passing, but it is so important. Many parents are thrilled with their children's bilingual progress then suddenly when they visit the country, it becomes apparent that there are big holes. The correct register, tone, vocabulary for speaking to strangers, for example!

Yes, exactly! My son met a French speaker at the playground and he used the informal "you" form with the man. I was mortified!

Hi, Antonia! Thank you so much for watching. It was really wonderful speaking with Amy so I'm glad you were able to listen to that interview. I'm also so happy to help motivate you! It is really a long-term investment, but don't be discouraged! Any level of bilingualism is helpful so your really can't "fail" unless you give up 😀.
