Goals for This Wiki

It is hoped that a vibrant community develops in this space.

This wiki looks into the expansive topic of bilingualism allows many possibilities for your input.

BilingualWiki began as a way for parents and researchers to share what they've learned and experiences with a wider audience.

Please contact me if there is certain information you would like to see on this site...questions/ research/etc.

For Fun Data

Go to the Journal from the Trenches: A Nine Year Diary part of this site. It documents two sibling's second language development from the womb on. I'd love to know your reactions (through emails or through what you'd like to share on the discussion page).

How You Have a Voice

Much research has been done to jumpstart this wiki. It is often written in the first person because, as such, people can show their findings and give their opinions of what they've found. For example, if you are a father speaking some Spanish to your son, but your doctor suggests you wait until he's six, you can write about that experience and your reactions/decisions. Just use the first person, "I...I...I" and if you'd like, but your name or initials after what you have written.

If you have any trouble adding to a page or editing something already written, please consult Help or contact this wiki's manager.
