How much exposure do bilingual children need to become bilingual?

In this episode, we dive into one of the most common questions parents ask: How much exposure does my child need to become bilingual? We explore: The 30% rule and its limitations—why exposure needs vary from child to child. The difference between current exposure and cumulative exposure and why both are critical to understanding your child’s bilingual journey. The role of language similarity in bilingual development—how innate passive bilingualism can work for or against your goals. The impact of active vs. passive exposure—and why active engagement is the key to fluency. How the number of speakers in your child’s environment affects their language skills. By the end of the episode, you’ll understand the factors involved in deciding how much exposure you need to meet your bilingual goals. 🗣️ Want to understand exactly how much exposure your bilingual or multilingual child has to their languages and how to optimize it?
