Happy Friday! Today's guest, Alicja, is a Polish mom raising her two kids in the UK with her Polish husband. Sounds like the perfect recipe for raising bilingual kids, right? Not so fast. Bilingual parenting takes planning and intentionality.
In this episode, Alicja tells us about all the choices, actions and dedication that go into ensuring her children grow up speaking their heritage language. She recognizes that her kids will be a mix of their heritage and home languages, as well as their heritage and home cultures, and she works with that, not against it.
Listen to hear Alicja's advice about where parents should start, how to bolster kids' home language, and what NOT to do when trying to get your kid to respond in your language.
