About this episode
According to my guest in today’s episode, Dr Rabiah Tul Adawiyah, a researcher on child language development, children have less fear of making mistakes compared to adults. Adults, on the other hand, have a tendency to overthink, which inhibits them from getting enough speaking practice. This is one of the reasons why children surpass adults when it comes to becoming confident and active bilinguals.
In this episode, Dr Ruby shares her observations and makes several recommendations so that our children (and ourselves too) continue to become fluent in both our ethnic language and English (or any other preferred language).
