“An easy-to-use treasure trove of information” for parents who want to help their children learn a new language (Deborah Tannen, PhD, New York Times–bestselling author of You Just Don’t Understand).

In The Bilingual Edge, Georgetown linguistics professors and parents Kendall King and Alison Mackey wade through the hype and provide clear insights into what actually works. No matter what your language background is—whether you never passed high school Spanish or you speak Mandarin fluently—King and Mackey will help you:
Fancy private schools and expensive materials aren’t needed. Instead, The Bilingual Edge translates the latest research into interactive strategies and quick tips that even the busiest parents can use.
