I was listening to this podcast, FDR2531, with the first call from Manny, about raising a multilanguage child. I grew up in Italy, raised bilingual (French/Italian). I met my English husband in France. We've been living in the UK since our first child was born, 17 years ago. I speak Italian with my two boys, French with my husband; my husband speaks English with our children. My boys are nicely trilingual (also for the written part); we stay in touch and go and visit my family regularly both in France and Italy. They also know the culture and appreciate the sense of humour behind each language, which is fun for us as a family. Although it's a bit isolating. We didn't plan it; it's just the way our family is. Manny, if you're there and you'd like to know more, feel free to ask. Best wishes!
