Raising Multilinguals LIVE!

Raising Multilinguals LIVE is a broadcast series on the topic of raising bilingual and multilingual children.

RML was founded in 2020 by Rita and her friends and colleagues, Ute Limacher-Riebold of Ute’s International Lounge and Tetsu Yung of AskTetsu as a platform to bring live interviews with experts and experienced parents on various aspects of raising children to speak more than one language.

“Our vision is to give everyone access to fact-based, practical information on raising bilingual and multilingual children

Through the broadcasts, RML aims to translate current research findings into practical advice for parents, give the audience the chance to place their own questions directly to the experts, and to share tried and tested tips and tricks with parents and educators.

“We want children across the world to thrive through languages, so our mission is to interview experts and experienced people in the field of bilingualism and provide parents, educators, other professionals and anyone interested in the topic with relevant advice and hands-on tips on how to raise children to speak more than one language.”

The sessions are usually aired on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 1 pm New York, 6 pm London and 7 pm Paris time – allowing for some exceptions due to daylight savings time and experts located in different time zones.
