052: Q&A - Will I ever feel completely comfortable speaking a language other than the community language to my kids in public?

Bilingual Avenue with Marianna Du Bosq - A podcast by Interviews with experts and parents sharing best practices for raising and teaching bilingual children.

On this episode of Bilingual Avenue, I answer a question from a mother who often feels awkward speaking to her daughter in a language other than the community language.  She asked for my personal experience and wondered if she will ever feel comfortable talking to her daughter in Russian in public.  I share my experience and encourage her to keep trying it for a few months before giving up.
