It seems like more and more people are learning a second language, but many Latino parents are not teaching their children Spanish anymore. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are making sure that doesn’t happen with their two children, Esmeralda and Amada and they are making sure their first language is Spanish.
“Esmeralda mostly speaks Spanglish right now. It’s really cute. She’s definitely bilingual, and it’s really important for us to make sure that she’s not only just familiar with the language, but also with the culture,” she says to People.
