Raising Bilingual Kids in Germany最佳语录

Bilingualism doesn't happen by magic; children need consistent exposure to a language—ideally about 30% of their waking time—to naturally become bilingual. However, this mental juggling act strengthens overall cognitive abilities, enhancing flexibility and problem-solving skills compared to monolingual peers.
