When it comes to raising bilingual kids, parents have a lot of questions. Add frequent relocations to the mix, and it can become a real challenge to keep their mother tongues (and cultures!) alive.
My dear friend Flor García and I have had many conversations about raising bilingual children: we both do it and exchanging thoughts, experiences and concerns makes this journey much more comforting and supportive!
But in addition to her personal experience, Flor is also a certified Spanish instructor and a professional consultant for multilingual families.
Having grown up in Venezuela, she got married to an American and moved to Texas for love. Several years and 3 kids later, they were relocated to Germany where they are currently spending their last few months before moving to New York.
This episode is packed with professional value, personal stories and lots of empathy and encouragement!
You’ll learn:
- The 3 keys for a successful, bilingual education
- Some of the myths about raising bilingual children
- How you can support your kids’ mastery of their weaker language
- Ways to involve other family members, despite living far away
- Ways to deal with our extended family’s expectations
- How to language, culture and identity affect our third culture kids
- and much more!
