Are We Doing This Right? Raising Bilingual/ Multilingual Children in Japan

In this episode, I explore what research really says about raising bilingual and multilingual children and how it compares to our own experience raising a German-Japanese child in Japan. We talk about common myths, language dominance, daycare, a third language, and why language development is often less about exposure and more about relationships, interaction, and everyday life.

Key learnings in this episode:

Why children are fully capable of learning multiple languages from an early ageThe difference between language exposure and real interactionHow language dominance can shift depending on environment and inputWhat our experience in Japan taught us about daycare and bilingual developmentPractical language options for families raising children in JapanHost: Tamara
