MULTI TONGUE KIDS

An increasing generation of trans-national couples, often residing in a third host culture, is faced with their kids growing up multilingual. This blog aims at monitoring the language development of kids from parents of different nationalities and understand their cultural/emotional affiliation.

How many languages do you speak at home?

This blog's main characters

Me - an Italian mum; born and raised in northern Italy, I spent my 20's in the USA to pursue my studies in communications and to pursue a career in multicultural marketing. Eventually I missed my own mum too much, and returned to Europe.

The Belgianite - a Flemish (Nederlands spoken) father; I met him along the road, and after an exciting but excruciating long-distance phase, we decided to settle in a neutral territory and chose Paris.

Milo - our first boy, our first amazing multilingual product.

Zeno - his beloved little brother.
