Resources for Heritage Speakers/Families

These are resources that are specifically tailored to help heritage speakers and their families who wish to learn and maintain their heritage languages.

The Bilingual Advantage Starts at Home

The University of Illinois' project promotes bilingualism's cognitive, academic, and social benefits, offering resources for educators and families to support language development and multicultural understanding.

Community-Based Heritage Language Schools

The Coalition of Community-Based Language Schools is a nationwide initiative established to support, guide, and promote the interests of community-based heritage language schools and organizations across the United States.

Me llamo Marcela: My Story as a Heritage Speaker

This innovative graphic memoir addresses the complex identities of heritage speakers, encouraging them to learn language as a personal pursuit, inspired by protagonist Marcela's journey through visits to Colombia, studying formal Spanish in school, and ultimately embracing her multicultural individuality.
