What children learn
- Growing vocabulary and everyday phrases in two languages
- Listening, turn‑taking, and clear pronunciation
- Confidence switching between English and Dutch
Try this at home
- Read short picture books in both languages daily
- Use songs and routines — children love repetition
- Let your child reply in any language; model the other naturally
