In this episode, we dive into one of the most common questions parents ask: How much exposure does my child need to become bilingual?
We explore:
The 30% rule and its limitationsâwhy exposure needs vary from child to child. The difference between current exposure and cumulative exposure and why both are critical to understanding your childâs bilingual journey. The role of language similarity in bilingual developmentâhow innate passive bilingualism can work for or against your goals. The impact of active vs. passive exposureâand why active engagement is the key to fluency. How the number of speakers in your childâs environment affects their language skills.By the end of the episode, youâll understand the factors involved in deciding how much exposure you need to meet your bilingual goals.
