One day, I was scrolling through Instagram, and I stopped at something Amy (from Our ML Home) posted, which resonated so much: “In Bilingual Education, the majority language behaves like an invasive plant that stifles the more delicate plants. It’ll take regular trimming to keep it in check, so as to leave enough space for […] Read more... The post English as an invasive plant appeared first on frenchbias.com ..read more

When I had my first child in the United States, I found myself to be the only one speaking French (my native language) to him in an English-only community. I often asked myself how I would be able to pull this off.  A couple of years later, and a sister added to the family, I can report that the journey […] Read more...

I’m just coming back from a trip to Mexico. My Mexican friend who I’ve known for twenty years was getting married and I couldn’t miss it. I’ve reunited with former classmates from business school, and it was a melting pot of nationalities and languages. Many were speaking French in various degrees. I got to use […] Read more...

Kids are sponges. This is a sentence I hear all the time, especially in the foreign language learning context. Yet, this sentence is one of my pet peeves. Although well intentioned, it rubs me the wrong way. It implies that kids are soaking up foreign languages with minimal effort. In fact, if you move abroad […] Read more...
