La familia bilingüe
Las personas bilingües suelen valorar y disfrutar su bilingüismo, aparte de considerarlo una fuente de interés y de riqueza. No obstante, son muchas las dudas que se plantean los padres ante la situación de tener que educar a sus hijos en un contexto bilingüe: ¿Cuáles son los inconvenientes?, ¿hasta qué punto afectará el aprendizaje simultáneo de dos o tres idiomas al desarrollo intelectual o al comportamiento del niño?
