I’d like my child to grow up bilingually. Is it enough to send them to classes or attend the playgroup on a weekly basis?

Bilingual upbringing is a lifetime commitment. Whilst your child will pick up some words and expressions by attending a regular playgroup or language class, to be truly bilingual requires an entire set of resources. These include: consistent parental/carer input, exposure to language in visual and audio means, exposure to culture as a reason for wanting to understand/speak the language, etc.
