Send a textIn this episode of The WHY Matters Podcast, Will and I unpack one of the most asked questions we get as full-time traveling parents — how on earth did our kids become trilingual?What started as a simple desire to expose our children to different cultures turned into a years-long journey through French immersion programs, homeschooling abroad, and more than a few unforgettable (and painful) teacher experiences. From Boston to Costa Rica to France, we share the real story behind raising multilingual kids — what worked, what didn’t, and what it really costs (financially and emotionally).@04:18 – Why we believe language is the bridge between worlds@08:14 – The surprising lifelong benefits of learning a second (or third) language@18:24 – How we accidentally discovered France’s free immersion education system@27:42 – What we paid at each stage — from $580/month preschool to free public school abroad@43:11 – The honest truth about bad teachers, language tears, and firing tutors@59:20 – Myth-busting: why kids don’t just “pick up” a language on the playground@1:10:45 – Our biggest takeaways and why giving your child another language is the best gift you’ll ever giveLeave us a voice message!
