As a speech language pathologist, I am asked all the time about language development in children raised with more than one language, so I was thrilled when I was given this opportunity to share some information on this subject on All Done Monkey, a great blog written by a mother raising her children to be bilingual. The post went up on Monday, and you can check it out on the blog HERE and leave me a comment…what do you think?
See you over there!

Mrs. Katie, you are really so great in explaining your craft. I had it understood here more than when I went to speech therapist. By the way I raised my son in bilingual language, Greek and English although English is not my native tongue.
I am raising a bilingual child. My daughter just turned 8 months. My husband and nanny speak to her in Albanian and I speak to her in English. I was wondering if there is anything I should do differently to help her learn both these languages. I am worried that she will not be able to speak both fluently. Is there any advice on how to ensure fluency in both languages?
Our child is struggling with three languages – English, Arabic and Russian. He’s approaching 4 y.o. and unfortunately none of the 3 languages is “formed”. It’s very alarming as we live in a developing country where none of the 3 languages is native and the speech therapists do NOT exist. Any advise on what to do? Thanks.
Hi Julia,
Trilingualism is a toughie, and it is hard to give you real advice without seeing the child. I have seen children grow up trilingual with NO issues, while others struggle. I know that Tatyana from Smart Speech Therapy LLC knows quite a bit about multilingualism and you may want to check out her blog for more info. Good luck!
