Raising Bilingual Kids: A Conversation with English Language Teacher Leticia Dalposso

In this episode of Hear You Go, I speak with Leticia Dalposso, a Brazilian English teacher and mother of two, about how she is raising her children to speak English at home—even though they live in Brazil and English isn’t her first language.

This conversation is perfect for advanced English learners, English teachers, and anyone interested in bilingual parenting, language identity, and real English conversation. You’ll hear how Leticia uses the OPOL (One Parent, One Language) method to support her children’s bilingual development, and how she's stayed motivated despite pressure and questions from people around her.

🎧 You’ll hear:

• A real-life example of how to raise bilingual children
• Why Leticia chose to speak English to her kids at home
• Her favourite ways to make English feel natural and fun
• How she responds to doubts and criticism from others
• Encouragement for parents and teachers using English in everyday life

As always, I’ll note some useful intermediate/advanced language (B1/C1 Intermediate & Advanced English) for you along the way.
