Ask HN: Raising your kids bilingual
Good day HN! I&#x27;m about to become a father pretty soon (first time!) and was wondering whether it would make any sense to try and raise my kid bilingually (Russian + English). The thing is that I am not a native English speaker myself, however I believe that I have a pretty strong speaking level (and good accent), as I communicate in English daily due to work. Also, we do not live in an English speaking country (but we do travel a lot). I&#x27;ve read about most common bilingual upbringing techniques (OPOL, etc.), however I found very few first-hand articles where people were actually raised bilingually by non-bilingual parents. I also have a slight fear that I will be missing out on sharing my native culture with my child, but on the other hand the situational upbringing method takes care of that. I would appreciate any advice on the subject, especially from parents and bilingually raised folks!
