I really wish bilingual (and even trilingual) education become common in the future. It could benefit the country so much. Why stop with Spanish when you do more such as Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Mandarin and the various NA languages such as Cherokee and Navajo. You can do so much with them.

It's a language my god, all these uptight people crying cause they are mortified theres an effort to incorporate another language so they can enrich their child's cultural experience and ability. There is no official language of the united states. In Europe many people speak multiple languages and have a variety of positions with people of power because of it. It's not as if we are kicking out the english language. Its funny because I speak english and only english because of my own choice but I dont force others conform as I have. Jeez

Spanish is not a foreign language in the United States, it irritates me that it's considered a foreign language when over 40 million people speak Spanish in the US and it's been spoken in this country for over 500 years, some people are just downright ignorant

I have being a bilingual teacher in Texas for 10 years and my students are so smart! I’m completely believe in the program, students love it 😍

We did it to our daughter. We spoke to her in Polish and English since birth + English TV. We live in Poland. The situation totally artificial but it worked out. She" s 21 now and fully bilingual. The first five years are the most important.

Damn imagine wanting so hard not to connect with people and share experiences in a new way.

Ok americans say it with me learning/knowing 2 things is always better than knowing 1 thing
2 languages is always better than 1

The bilingual language programme seen in this video is very similar to the education I received at kindergarten. We had flashcards with both English and Romanian text written on the top and bottom. We had to pronounce the words in both languages interchangeably.

English is a global language, it should be taught everywhere and English is way much easier.

What in the world has happen to our USA

[salemmacbeth]

There way more languages, and cultures than our Latino Americans, ...and this seems completely biased. Our national language is English in America, English and tbh it's not fair Americans have to learn a whole new language and education criteria just because we have illegal immigrants..

[lsgrosieh]

No! The state exams are in ENGLISH AND SO ARE THE ACT and SAT'S.

Just because she’s Hispanic? I learned English since kindergarten in California we didn’t have this program but it’s causing a problem with my daughters but the principal doesn’t care so basically my kids are forced to learn Spanish I’m not ashamed of my race I love Spanish music bad bunny etc lol 😂 but come on now get real
