Feelings Along the Way
Feelings Along the Way
"Having a baby changed everything, and raising her in more than one language was part of that. I believed in it deeply, but I soon learned that believing in something and doing it every day are worlds apart.
Following OPOL seemed straightforward in theory. In practice, it was not. I had to speak one language to my daughter, another to my husband, and a third to people around us, sometimes all within the same conversation. At first, it felt unnatural and forced. I would pause, switch, get lost, restart. But with time, it settled. It became routine. Now, it's so normal I can't imagine speaking to her in any other way." A.L. Teriaca
