Bilingual from the Beginning !   

The following is reproduced by kind permission of Comhluadar   www.comhluadar.ie

Míle buíochas do Chomhluadar as ucht seo a leanas.

Two thirds of the world’s population are Bi-lingual – wouldn’t you like your child to be one of the majority?

The good news is that in Athboy, it isn’t difficult for a child for any child to grow up bilingually.

But I cant speak Irish…..

If your partner speaks Irish you can give your child a chance from a very early age.

Will I feel left out if my partner and child are speaking Irish?

·        You will be surprised how much you can understand, particularly when your child is very young, as your partner will naturally be using very simple phrases.

·        Your child will soon be delighted to help you to follow their conversations.

·        This may be a good time to learn some Irish yourself or brush up on what you once new, to keep pace with your child!

When should my partner start speaking Irish to our child?

• As soon after your child is born as possible.
• The sooner your child starts to hear Irish the sooner he/she will understand.
• Learning any skill is easier when you are young – AND THE YOUNGER YOU ARE THE EASIER IT IS.  

Won’t my child get confused?

• Mixing the two languages in the early stages is completely normal.
• This doesn’t mean that your child is confused, and the two languages will separate quite naturally.

Will my child learn two languages only half as well as one?

• Absolutely not! There is no known limit to a Childs ability to learn language – in some countries its common for very young children to be completely fluent in three or more languages. 

When will my child be able to translate from one language to another?

• Your child may well be aware from as early as two years old of which parent speaks which language.
• By the age of three or four, the child will be translating for you both very easily.
