As a native English speaker in a French-speaking country, you can imagine how challenging it was for me even more so for my children. Though I could find “learning French with so and so” on youtube, I couldn’t find any resource that supported parents in my situation.
As such, I made many mistakes that may now have an impact on my children’s language acquisition. I now learn that many parents are in this situation and may need support to navigate through what can be daunting, to say the least.
From there, I made it my duty to learn about language acquisition. I desire to create awareness on how to support support parents in their children’s journey to becoming bilingual and to throw in soem good resources while I am at it.
This may be ones I create or ones I reccommend.
Smartbilinguals was designed for parents who simply wants to makes language acquisition easier for their children.
You are therefore in the right place if:
Your child is learning French as a foreign language
If you want your child to speak French faster
Your child is English speaking and learning French
You are looking for resources to help keep your child engaged at home in their French learning
Your child is learning any new language
You are about to move to a new country where your child will be required to learn the local language.
You have no idea how to support your child in their new language learning venture
You want to preserve and maintain your child’s mother tongue as they learn a new language
If you want to learn more about the phenomena of bilingualism
If you want to support the social and emotional well-being of your child.
Therefore if you wish to share in my journey as I empower you to support your bilingual child, then keep checking my new posts.
Happy reading and remain positive.
