Hi, I’m Amy! Brought up as a trilingual child, my husband and I chose to educate our daughters as trilinguals too. What seemed to us something as natural as a little jog, proves to be a marathon! This trilingual journey has been very rich and enlightening. I have grown quite passionate about the topic and I would like to share my journey with other multilingual families; because together we are stronger! :)

Last Sunday, my youngest refused to do her ml homework. Thanks to her eldest sister being so good and setting the example, she eventually joined us, but instead of working on her English grammar book she decided to write a story.
After over a year without blogging, I want to share some wonderful news that I hope will continue to inspire and give hope to struggling #bilingualparents. 💪🏻
Normally, whilst eldest is at Spanish 🇪🇸 school, lil one and I wait for her in nearby café, working on lil one’s Spanish. But today it somehow was English 🇬🇧. I improvised a story written together, inspired from her toy penguin 🐧, using an online die 🎲to roll the number of words we should each write. The game was fun and entertaining and the result was great! 🤩
Improvising English resources to adapt to my youngest’s mood. This morning, she was not in the mood for our usual CGP activity books. She requested I drew something that she would label in English. I guess it is better than nothing! 😅
Adorable word cards my little one made to learn the spelling visually of misspelled words during our weekly dictations. We put them up as captive reading in our loo, just like I do for her big sister.
Though I don’t share as much on my social media, we keep up our good habits in terms of ml homework. 😉 Today was Saturday grammar.
