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 as 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! :)

Working on #biliteracy skills. This morning I began labelling Lego blocks with a capital letter of the alphabet. This has created a lot of interest in my youngest as they are currently learning the majority language alphabet at school. I am very lucky, to have my eldest who loves teaching, and who enjoys playing with her little sister to teach her things. . . I intend to tag more Lego blocks with a small letter so I asked to turn the whole experience into a puzzle, as she had those puzzles. . . #learningisfun #alphabet #abc #learningthealphabet

Extrait: "L’autre jour, j’ai eu l’occasion d’emmener ma plus jeune fille au bureau pour saluer quelques instants mes collègues. En passant dans le couloir près du bureau d’un de mes collègues, ce dernier m’interpelle gentiment de son bureau, stupéfait de m’entendre parler à ma fille en anglais. -“Tu lui parle en anglais? Tout le temps?” demanda-t-il avec les yeux écarquillés.
