Maintaining a Bi-Lingual environment

4 replies

My DD is now 4 months so definitely not close to speaking but is a very attentive listener.

My DP is bi-lingual but has just had to go to Korea to help a relative with end of life care so he will not be back until January.

Is there any way to keep up the bi-lingual environment while he is away when I don't speak any Korean?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

If you get a chance to join any bilingual kids activities- try New Malden which has a big Korean community. Even better if you find other bilingual families and kids of same age.

When DP face times whilst he’s away can he chat with dc in Korean?

For that length of time at that age, don’t worry about it. Plan some extra one on one time when they get back. (My kids are trilingual but didn’t have any input from the third language during lockdown and it was fine).
