Un Progenitor, Un Idioma - One Parent, One Language

Spanish and Go Episode 284

Have you ever wondered how to raise a child with two languages without causing confusion? In this episode, we dive into the OPOL method, where each parent consistently speaks one language with the child, and discuss how it can be combined with other strategies like “time and place.” We share scientific studies, clear up common myths about bilingualism, and give practical advice on how to provide enough input, prioritize the minority language, and keep things flexible. As bilingual parents ourselves, we’re learning along the way and invite you to join the conversation about raising confident, bilingual kids.

Key Takeaways:

  • What OPOL (One Parent, One Language) is and how it works in daily life
  • Why myths like “bilingualism delays speech” are untrue
  • Practical strategies to make bilingual learning fun, natural, and effective
