Changing Attitudes: Raising Children in a Dual Culture
by Judit and Pál Szentkirályi (reprinted by permission of the authors)

This article on raising children in a dual culture gives insight, information and useful tips on raising children in a bilingual environment, giving solid reasons for early muliple language training, and spells out clearly defined benefits.  It dispels common myths about bilingualism and gives facts based on the latest research. It serves as a useful resource for families trying to understand and explain the benefits of encouraging the nurturing of multiple cultures and languages. It was originally published by the authors in August 2006 and is reprinted here with their permission. Copyright © 2006 by the authors.

Links of Interest:

Google Translate - http://translate.google.com/translate_t

 You might find this new tool by Google to be helpful in quickly doing readable translations between various supported language pairs. Since some languages that are used in countries Hungarian minorities live in are already supported, it will be a useful tool for more easily reading and understanding news items or published works in those languages. Hungarian is not yet supported as one of the languages.
