It’s hard to believe that the English version of our website got its start just six months ago! The Spanish version of the site followed shortly afterward, and we’ve been providing the latest information, research and resources for bilingual families ever since. We’ve published posts on everything from expert advice for bilingual parents to free bilingual resources, and we’ve had a great time getting to know so many bilingual families. Here’s a look back at our Top 10 Posts from 2009:

1. Grapes on New Year’s Eve

2. Our Books on Englishbeginner.org

3. Holiday Ideas for Strengthening the Minority Language

4. Your Baby is a Language Learning Machine

5. Ask Sinews: My husband and I are not native speakers of English. How can we help our son learn English as a child?

6. Freebies for Bilingual Readers: Mp3 Files for Marina and the Little Green Boy/Marina y el niño verde

7. Íñigo’s first American Christmas

8. Real Stories, Real Lives: Getting Kids to Read in the Minority Language

9. Real Stories, Real Lives: Kate and Her Bilingual Readers

10. Creative Strategies for Making Reading Fu
