Episode 28: Bilingualism through three generations of Burkels: insights from two siblings
In this episode we talk with Burkel siblings Eric and Martine about their experience uprooting their lives in Southern California in the early 70s and moving to France as pre-teens. They discuss the difficulties they encountered not being able to attend public French school due to not speaking any French at all (initially), and how their adolescence in France changed their outlook of the world in a positive way despite the initial culture shock. Eric and Martine speak openly about their imperfect bilingualism and how they still tried to do everything in their power to pass their biculturalism-bilingualism on to their children with differing degrees of success.
