Did you know that travel can be one of the most powerful ways to boost your child's language development? Whether it's through interacting with locals, attending cultural events, or playing games on the go, each trip offers endless opportunities for bilingual growth. This past summer, before I had surgery, I had some amazing experiences—from watching La Copa América in Miami with my familia to enjoying a week in Punta Cana. Along the way, I discovered just how valuable travel can be for raising a bilingual or multilingual child.
In this episode, I'll share 5 tried-and-true tips on how you can use travel to supercharge your child's language learning, all inspired by my own experiences.
