Hi, Has anyone experienced learning a language by reading bilingual stories? What kind of books would you recommend for children to learn a language?

Glassbow makes bilingual editions of the classics (Pride and Prejudice, Peter Pan, The Prince, etc.), the collection of all 36 books is on sale for $9 this week, usually $29. There's new releases every other month which are included for all "collection" purchases. Of course you can get the books for free in English, but these come with a translated edition built in paragraph-by-paragraph. Not a bad deal for $9. www.glassbow.com/collection Sorry if this is wrong forum, I'm new. Please move if so!

Hey everybody, Some friends and I have started a bilingual literary magazine in Madrid. We have launched a kickstarter as a pre-order before we publish our first volume that we'll send out all over the world. Have a look and please share with your friends. Thanks. ¡Hola! Unos amigos y yo hemos formado una revista literaria bilingüe en Madrid. Hemos lanzado nuestro Kickstarter para pedir antes de publicar el primer volumen que mandaremos a todos los lados del mundo. Echa un ojo y compartelo con tus amigos. Gracias. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1297351223/fron-tera-bilingual-literary-magazine-revista-lite?ref=category

My partner and I both speak English and Italian at home. Our son is now 18 months old and is making great progress and already recognise and use many words, but he clearly seems to favour English as I language. I realise he's very young, and anyway that's fine since we live in a English speaking country, but I'd love for him to know Italian and much as English one day. I read every book and article I could find on the subject, but I wonder if anyone had any first hand experience to share. What worked for you? What didn't?
