Teaching Kids a Second Language

Listen Thursday, Jul. 26, 2007 at 12:06 p.m. in Education, Society

We all know that kids pick up new languages quickly, but helping your child become bilingual can be more tricky than it sounds -- especially if you don't speak another language yourself. We'll talk with two Georgetown University linguists about the myths and misconceptions surrounding language learning and hear about their experiences teaching their own children.
