I don’t live in Australia and I’m not bilingual from birth but I learned English in England when I was already an adult. I couldn’t resinate with all what said but shared many experiences and I find the theme abd the different subjects of each episode very interesting. Well planned, well conducted, well structured. Well done!! Thank you!
Great and light podcast on the topic of multilingualism in the families. Even though my family doesn’t live in Australia, nor an English-speaking country, the challenges and insights were very helpful to us as non-natives. Many thanks to the creators of the content! 🙏
An honest and realistic picture of bilingual parenting
I am raising bilingual children in the USA, and actually blog about it over at Mama Llama Linguist. I listen to quite a few podcasts on bilingual parenting and was delighted to find this new one. It is extremely professionally put together and so authentic.
Thank you Dr Elaine for your insight, tips and encouragement. I will be sharing this with my readers. Looking forward to many more episodes in the future.
