It dispels myths about bilingualism and explains how learning multiple languages at a young age can enhance your child's overall intellectual, emotional, and social development.Barbara Zurer Pearson, Ph.D., is a bilingualism expert with more than thirty years of research experience in the fields of bilingualism and linguistics, first at the University of Miami (FL) and then at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
