While I believe in the importance of learning about one\u2019s heritage, when and what to pass on to my children is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter\u2019s experience with learning a second language has been a positive one so far. Her grasp of the Spanish language at the mere age of three puts her light-years ahead of me when I tried learning English as a teen. This is partly because introducing a child to a second language is far easier when they are young. Their brains are like sponges, and learning seems effortless and fun.<\/p>\n<p>Learning a second language can also bring a new depth of understanding to one\u2019s native tongue and help a person adapt to different cultural contexts. As well, knowing multiple languages can help develop cultural sensitivity and awareness.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Half the residents in Toronto alone cited a mother tongue other than English or French, according to a 2011 census.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nowadays, people speak many languages at home and, more than ever before, younger generations are embracing their heritage and culture. Diversity and cultural differences are also being celebrated in schools, and it\u2019s far easier than it used to be to merge old customs with new, and to embrace old languages and new ones.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to encourage your children to immerse themselves in learning English as a second language when you move to Canada; however, don\u2019t do away with your cultural touchstones and festivities. Remind kids of the significance of traditions to their culture and heritage, and encourage them to reach out to other children of similar cultures and faiths. This will help them to find a common ground between old and new, and to share customs with their family and their peers.<\/p>\n<p>Canada is a country that allows families to hold on to their cultural identities while embracing new traditions and languages. This is why so many families are able to build fulfilling new lives here.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us how you keep your cultural traditions alive as you adapt to your new life in Canada.<\/p>\n<p><em>Natalia Diaz<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Natalia Diaz\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepareforcanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/NataliaDsm-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Natalia Diaz\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.owlkids.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Owlkids<\/a>\u00a0Contributing Editor Natalia Diaz was born in Buenos Aires, Argentin<\/em><em>a, and writes about education and family issues.
