Fabrice Jaumont, Education Attaché (French Embassy to the US): Is Bilingualism becoming The New Norm?

Do you know that you could lose your mother tongue in only 2 years by not practicing it?  Although the roots of bilingual education in the United States can be traced back to the 17th century, there is a new push to produce bilingual citizens and create a cultural sense of community. Bilingualism is also a strong advantage in terms of creativity.  Fabrice told me that for his own writing process a lot of ideas come from a constant back and forth between French and English: he can always go back to another language and see how it produces other ideas.     Fabrice is the author of many books including "The Bilingual Revolution" (TBR Books. 2017) It's time to listen to him.
