Although the cons outweight the pros, it is good you teach your son both of you cultures and to embrace it. My father and mother as well have taught me that. Having the benefit of both cultures surely has given me opprotunities in my field of work and to help out my community.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253706478390977487.post-32995580829702541862009-10-19T19:20:19.051-07:002009-10-19T19:20:19.051-07:00Bien dicho Angie!!

I didn't grew up in a bilingual or bicultural environment, all I knew was Spanish and being a Mexicana, until I met my husband and moved to USA almost 8 years ago. And now all I know is bilingualism and biculturalism :) and I want my children to have the best of both worlds, it's not an easy task, considering that all my family is back in Mexico, I wish my parents would live close to us! my children don't have this advantage, but I will do anything so they can be comfortable in both enviroments.Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075401569486778638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253706478390977487.post-64401497172030970352009-10-18T11:31:35.454-07:002009-10-18T11:31:35.454-07:00Such a great post to read since you can feel the h...Such a great post to read since you can feel the heart in it.<br />Your son will appreciate everything you´re doing to instill in him an identity and a personality that is his own. <br /> Bravo mamá!!!Ana L.

I wish I was better with my Spanish and that the day I have kids, I will have pass it on to them. Being bilingual and bicultural is great! I'm fortunate to come from a family with Spanish/American Indian/Mexican hertiage. I just wish though growing up my mom would have taught me Spanish. She felt that her Spanish was more slang, therefore, she wanted us to learn Spanish in school - this way we would be able to read, write and speak it. However, just like learning an instrument - if you don't practice, you'll forget it. However, I don't regret it. I did take Spanish in high school. Though I did ok, I do try to speak it. I have the best of both worlds and embrace my culture. My parents taught us to be proud of who you are. I hope one day when I have my family, I will be able to pass it on and teach them to embrace their ethnicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253706478390977487.post-20912074034736615412009-10-13T21:33:13.749-07:002009-10-13T21:33:13.749-07:00I really enjoyed reading your post, Angie.

He'll thank you when he needs to take a foreign language in school. It is beautiful to learn about different cultures and their languages. I think one appreciates life a little more.Mailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222504007402288697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253706478390977487.post-90029021028617025832009-10-13T13:09:23.595-07:002009-10-13T13:09:23.595-07:00Thank you Angie for talking about an all too impor...Thank you Angie for talking about an all too important topic in an world that is becoming increasingly mulilingual and multicultural.

As a gringa/latina raised bilingual by my Mexican mother and American dad, I, too have used my Spanish in my work and to connect with others who speak the language. It's been a huge benefit. It's thrilling to watch as report after report validates the value when it comes to abstract learning, math, reading, like you mentioned.<br /><br />We are raising our kids to speak Spanish, which is no small task. We have a website with tips for bilingual families, and invite visitors to check it out.
