Raising bilingual kids in a mostly English-speaking world can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not fluent or if your Spanish isn’t “perfect.” Maybe you speak Spanglish, maybe you’re still learning, or maybe you're wondering if you're doing enough.
But here’s the good news, you don’t need to be 100% fluent to raise a bilingual child. In fact, you might be doing more than you think.
In this episode, we’re breaking down how much Spanish exposure your child actually needs, what you can do if you’re not confident in your language skills, and how to build a strong bilingual foundation, no matter your level.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How much Spanish exposure is really needed to support bilingual development.
Why fluency isn’t required (and what matters more).
How to make the most of the Spanish you do speak.
Where to find helpful resources if you need support.
Simple ways to boost exposure at home—even in busy, everyday life.

Final Thoughts
You don’t need to speak perfect Spanish.
You just need to show up and make it part of your child’s world.
Whether you’re speaking a little or a lot, you’re planting the seeds of bilingualism and that’s a beautiful gift of identity, opportunity, and culture. Algún día te lo agradecerán.
