Summary:

spoken in the community at home are two of the most common systems. There are, however, as many variations on these systems as there are families. There is no right or wrong way - here each family has to find its own system. "Growing up with Two Languages" is illustrated by glimpses of life from interviews with fifty families from all around the world. The trials and rewards of life with two languages and cultures are discussed in detail, and followed by practical advice on how to support the child's linguistic development.
