Episode 18: The Language Therapist

from Multilingual Mamas Hosted by Multilingual Mamas

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Amelia Tseng, a sociolinguist at the Smithsonian and American University who also grew up bilingual and bicultural in an immigrant family. She delves into the social side of multilingualism, at the individual, family, and societal levels. We discuss how different personality types, family dynamics, societal pressure, community support, pride, and socioeconomic status can affect a bilingual child’s experience, and how we, as parents, can hopefully make it a more positive one.
