Every bilingual parent has fears. Fear of passing on a bad accent. Fear of not being able to connect emotionally with your child in the other language. Fear of what the people around you think. In Episode 2 we name these fears out loud, talk about where they come from, and share what the research — and our own experience — says about facing them. We're not here to tell you the fears aren't real. We're here to help you keep going anyway.
