# Benefits of Bilingualism (FAQs):

### Any advice on managing two Spanish dialects in the household? Does this cause confusion for kids?
Now that our world is more interconnected than ever, there are plenty of families where each parent could be from a different country in Latin America, with distinctive dialects, vocabulary, slang, and culture. And that’s totally ok for kids to be exposed to. Their perspectives are broadened and they learn to communicate cross-culturally, it’s a thing to be celebrated.

### What do you recommend if I’m not completely fluent and my child’s school doesn’t have an immersion class?
I always encourage as much Spanish exposure as possible. Don’t worry about immersion classes availability or not being completely fluent as a parent. Use the Spanish you know, even if you may need to speak Spanglish; this won’t be confusing to your child.

### Do you recommend teaching different subjects in different languages?
It’s important to give kids as much education as possible in the home in Spanish. They will inevitably learn English, and it will be even better if they learn their native language first. Teaching subjects like the solar system in Spanish helps them learn topic vocabulary that they wouldn’t get in everyday conversation.

### How can my child learn language through play?
Play-based learning in children aged PreK/K should take the form of pretend play. Pretend play, where prompts and props are used to spark an imaginative game or scenario, are crucial in developing both social and cognitive skills.
