Bilingual Board Books
Updated: Apr 16
Introducing babies and toddlers to a second language can be a fun and rewarding experience, and bilingual board books are a great tool for this! In this post, I've compiled my top recommendations for bilingual board books grouped by language, including Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.
At home, we're learning Mandarin Chinese, so my recommendations do lean towards Chinese resources. However, I believe that exposure to any language is beneficial for young children, so feel free to explore books in any of the languages listed. Happy reading!
