Description

<p>In part 2 of my interview with Dr. Ute Limacher-Riebold, we get into the details of her family&#39;s languages and how a multilingual family actually interacts on a day-to-day basis. She takes us back to when her children were little and exposed to 5 languages to the present day where they are grown adults still curious and continuing to learn new languages. </p><p>It wasn&#39;t always easy and smooth sailing, though. Tune in to hear what Ute did when her twins created a secret language that no one else could understand and how she reacted when challenged by another parent at school. She also tells us about traveling as a multilingual family and the positive impact peers can have on our children&#39;s languages. </p><p>To work with Ute, please visit her website <a href="https://utesinternationallounge.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ute&#39;s International Lounge</a> and check out her 4 different YouTube channels and free monthly workshops.</p><p>Near the end of the episode, we mention Yoshito Darmon-Shimamori and Tetstu Yung, both of whom have worked with Ute on various projects also been guests on the Future is Bilingual Podcast:</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0mQ9UYU29gkBHVz6uHh43m" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ep. 35 - Raising Multilingual Readers and Writers (Yoshito)</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6btrBJhDQKAJBbBLQynN7m" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ep. 42 - Raising 4 kids in 5 languages (Tetsu)</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2oSSApauEASvotKYryHhtl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ep. 50 - &quot;In Search of the Lost Words&quot; (Yoshito)</a></p>
