Mon, 23 Mar 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Should a Parent Learn English too? Should a parent learn English too?

The more a parent speaks in two languages, the more natural it will feel and sound to a child. When a parent speaks English, it will create many more benefits for their child and their future.
