Ep. 63: Heritage Speaker Connecting Us to S. Asian Languages - Interview with Anita of Bhasha Kids
So many truth bombs and inspiring tales in this interview episode with Anita, the founder of Bhasha Kids (@BhashaKids)! Anita is a Malayalam-American mom whose company helps kids (and adults!) connect with South Asian Languages and Cultures.
Anita and Heather talk all about raising multilingual kids and the best ways to support them in their language learning journey, like why it's worth getting a tutor and/or resources. They also get into linguistic topics such as phonological awareness and the different proficiency levels (e.g. the European framework A1-C2). Another major theme in their talk is identity and being a heritage speaker.
Anita offers tons of resources, some of which are free!, on Instagram and her Linktree page.
