Q&A Sessions
Our experienced Family Language Coaches answer questions on raising bilingual and multilingual children
Every family is unique, what works in one family or situation may not be possible to apply to another, no matter how similar the challenges may seem. We know, as we have over the years answered several hundreds of questions from parents, grandparents and young adults, as well as teachers and other professionals.
If you have a question and cannot find the answer in our posts or previous Q&As, please, get in touch. We will be happy to tackle your specific challenge and give you practical tips and sensible advice on how to move forward.
What are the Q&A Sessions
During the Q&A sessions you can get an answer to your specific challenges live on air. Submit your question via the form and we will be in touch. If your query is selected for a broadcast, you can add any follow-up questions in the comments during the live session and those will be picked up, too.
Keep an eye out for the Live Q&A date announcements in our Facebook group and page. (Note that due to the many questions coming in, you will not necessarily get a quick response.)
