ExpatFocus.com - for anyone moving or living abroad   /     How To Raise Multilingual Children

Description

There’s been a bit of debate online about whether we’ll see a baby boom from the coronavirus lockdown. Is all this forced time at home the perfect opportunity to get pregnant, or, is a pandemic pregnancy the last thing on your mind? If you are planning to start - or add to - your family, you might want to give some thought to teaching your child a second language. It’s so much easier for them to pick up when they’re young, right? Annika Bourgogne is our guest in this episode to talk about raising multilingual kids. She’s done it herself, she’s the author of Be Bilingual, a language teacher and an entrepreneur. And Annika recommends you research and decide on your approach to raising your child with more than one language, before they come into the world.
