Background English
Referring to Kanagawa Rod's contribution on bilingualism (Lifelines: May 18), John Edward Philips recommends "an even better source of background English, if you can afford it."
Yuusen 440 cable radio, he says, provides access to VoA, BBC, NPR,various overseas local radio stations and even TOEIC listening stations.
(Contd. from Lifelines: May 18) Rod also believes it important for parents to be very conscientious about speaking to the child in only one language or the other in any one situation.
