Testimonials

“After reading this book, I had the feeling that Rita Rosenback could convince anyone to raise a bilingual child.  She has accumulated a treasure trove of knowledge about what, when, and how to do it.  The sense I got was that I am hearing from someone who has experienced almost every imaginable scenario that a parent could face.  She dispels myths while remaining realistic about the effort necessary to teach a child two languages.  To top it off, the book ends with a set of materials that parents can use to organize themselves.  I highly recommend this book to any parent who would like to raise their child to speak more than one language.  If you have any doubt about the value of bilingualism, this book will erase it for eternity.”
