I have written up two posts about language programs in the Bay Area (the East Bay, to be exact) for Today’s Mama, where I now occasionally blog on Chinese education and culture in the Bay Area. One post is about language immersion programs and one is a listing of Chinese summer camps. I hope it is useful for those of you in the area. Please let me know if I overlooked anything.

PhD in Parenting blog has a lengthy and interesting post about raising bilingual children, and why and how to do it. Her conclusion for the “why”: “Overall, there seems to be a correlation between learning a second language and overall intelligence and open mindedness.” She also has a good overview of the various methods to use, depending on your family’s situation and environment. The post has generated a lively discussion on the topic in the comments section. Check it out here.
