Raising a bilingual child doesn’t have to be confusing. Experts recommend a simple, proven strategy: associate each language with a consistent context.

Snory brings this to life:

  • -Use one Snory for English, another for your heritage language
  • -Based on the "One Person, One Language" method used by linguists and parents worldwide
