- I would like to raise my child to be bilingual!
- A child will grow up bilingual and be emotionally closer to their mother if they are naturally exposed to their mother’s language. By creating an environment of communication in two languages at home, multicultural children can develop their identities and grow to become more globally minded. A bilingual family environment creation program and an education program for parents are operated at multicultural family support centers. For details, contact your nearest multicultural family support center. (Inquiry: Danuri Helpline ☎1577-1366)

Any member of a multicultural family who has lived with his/her spouse for 3 years or more may apply for the program, but according to Article 2 of the Multicultural Family Support Act, none of the eligible family members can already own a house. In addition, the applicant must open a housing application account and make a minimum of 6 deposits over 6 months.
