THE ESSENTIAL COURSE FOR PARENTS WHO WANT TO BRING UP A BILINGUAL CHILD
Raising a bilingual child shouldn’t make you more anxious than it does excited.
But figuring out how you can do it seems to involve endless google searches, transforming yourself into a linguistic researcher, following advice from someone even though you’re not exactly sure where they got the information, or using the language strategy that worked for your neighbour’s cousin’s sister.

A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Direct links (and some discounts) to some of my favourite things including books and book stores, toys and gadgets. As well as a small directory of other professionals like bilingual speech pathologists.
You want to raise your child with two or more languages!
Maybe you speak another language and want to hear your baby’s first words be in the language your mother spoke to you.
Maybe you and your partner both speak different languages, and you want your baby to be able to connect with both sets of grandparents.
Maybe you fell in love with Italian during undergrad in Italy and would love to pass the bella lingua to your not-so Italian baby
Or maybe you rode the struggle bus in high school Spanish and don’t want the same for your little one (so you want to start early!).
Whatever the reason, I know you want the very best for your baby. You want them to have every advantage. You want them to be bilingual. And this class can help you feel prepared to make that happen.
Here's a peek of what you'll learn inside 👀
• Bilingualism Myths vs. Facts
• The science of infant brain development
• Sensitive periods, listening skills, and sound discrimination
• What research really says about monolingual vs. bilingual milestones
• How cultural norms shape language use
• Why there’s no ‘right way’ to raise a bilingual child

• Narrating routines in your language(s).
• Using lullabies, rhymes, and play to support language (and cultural) development.
• Talking and singing to baby during feeding.
• Using meal/snack time as natural language moments.
• Reading baby’s signals as early “communication.”
• What “exposure” really means.
• How much is “enough” in early months?
• What if one parent uses one language more than the other?
• Handling family pressure about which language to use.
• What’s normal for speech development.
• What isn’t caused by bilingualism.
• When to ask a professional for help
• Setting up a bilingual environment
• What counts (and doesn’t count) as exposure
• And so much more, obviously.
After working with hundreds of families around the world, I’ve come to realize that so much of long-term multilingual success starts with getting things sorted earlier than most parents think— the routines, the mindset, and the foundation.
So when your toddler insists on wearing only a princess dress, screams when you try to brush their teeth,, or refuses to eat anything green... you’re not struggling with language itself. You’re navigating normal toddlerhood through multiple languages.
That’s why I’ve poured my expertise in bilingualism, early language development, and family routines into designing this class. Helping you build strong habits, confident communication, and a smooth start to your bilingual journey from the very beginning.
