Your Bilingual Journey  

There are many advantages to being bilingual. Research has shown that children who speak two languages can be more versatile, more creative in their thinking and can learn other languages easier.

 A child who can speak two languages will be able to:

·       Communicate with a wider variety of people

·       Become a bridge between generations, e.g. if there are grandparents or other family members who can speak Welsh

·       Open the door to a different culture. With the opportunity to speak Welsh, your child will benefit from the broader horizons provided by the enjoyment of two cultures.
