Am I bilingual? Is my child bilingual?
One of the most common misconception about bilingualism is that it would be the equal, high-achieving fluency of 2 or more language at a same point of time. For that reason, some parents gets discouraged and give up, believing the lie that their child is not and will never be bilingual. This simply is not true.
There are two main types of bilingualism:
simultaneous bilingualism,
and sequential bilingualism.
Neither is superior to the other, and many multilingual may have developed some languages simultaneously, and others at different times of their lives.
Being multilingual gives you to ability to acquire other languages more easily because your brain is wired to learn languages.
Challenges of being multilingual
More presure
Less professionalism
Miscommunication
Cultural changes

Although she stands out uniquely out in her organisation skills and technical skills, what impressed me most about Laure was the quality of her work, the enthusiasm, and the joy she displays around her. I was also impressed by her amazingly positive and caring attitude which was valued not just by myself, but also by the teachers and students.
I could rely on Laure to get the job done and I am confident GLOSSOPHIA is a great fit.

One of the most difficult questions in our lives is “where are you from?” This gives you a vague idea of how multilingual our family is, and you can probably imagine that it’s never been easy to juggle three active family languages while living in a fourth or fifth language context.

Due to frequent international moves, our children had to learn languages on the fly and, more recently, this had to happen in a home-schooling context where immersion was not an option any longer. Laure was extremely helpful in ensuring that the changes in cultural context and language went as smoothly as possible for our family. She actively supported our family with the transitions into new educational environments while helping us to preserve the languages actively spoken in the family. Her professional and tailor-made approach is noteworthy, and we are very happy to recommend Laure’s mentoring and language coaching to bi-and multilingual families because it always pays off to invest into languages.
