Rodriguez Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:49:47 +0000 http://miestilomag.com/?p=3#comment-3 I'll tell you this much. Knowing another language, especially Spanish, is the gateway to opportunities. I've heard from Hispanic parents how their kids are sometimes embarrassed about speaking Spanish, etc. However, they will find that if they don't take the opportunity to at least remember how to speak Spanish, they will miss out on countless opportunities. I wish you the best. You did say that your wife is non-Hispanic and Spanish isn't her first language. However, if both of you are committed to instilling them with bicultural heritage, you will find a way to make it happen. Thanks for the comment. I look to keep providing you with great, engaging content and for you to respond. They can only benefit from growing up bicultural. Thanks, Jose A.

Being an immigrant latino to the U.S., born and raised in Mexico for 27 years, I will eventually be responsible for ensuring that my kids (whom will more than likely be born in the U.S.) still learn Spanish and know about where they come from. This will be a little harder given the fact that my wife is non-hispanic and Spanish is not her first language, but still looking forward to raising bi-cultural children. Can't wait! Thanks for the tips. Great article!
