What does it mean to be "bilingual"? How can we encourage and support parents to raise children bilingually? In this episode, Dr Kaitlyn Zavaleta talks all-things-bilingual with Professor Antonella Sorace from the University of Edinburgh and Founding Director of "Bilingualism Matters", a non-profit organisation that brings bilingualism research findings to the general public. This episode provides an excellent overarching view of the benefits of bilingualism. Join us to hear Professor Antonella Sorace's summary of new research and insights into bilingualism.
