WHAT OUR READERS SAY
Amazon Customer
Great read. There are not so many books advising on how to raise a kid in a trilingual family. So I was happy to find this one and it was a very good and easy read, one you can read in 1-2 days and get a quick overview of what to expect. It also puts you somehow in peace that it is possible to raise a kid to be fluent with more than 2 languages.

There are few books for trilingual families so was keen to read. It’s such a helpful and reassuring little book and definitely made us feel more confident that we are taking the right approach with our 2 year old. Also made us remember to recognise what amazing progress he is making in 3 languages at only 2 years old instead of worrying he is not speaking like his peers who only speak 1. Thoroughly recommend this for immediate practical hints and tips and not too much jargon to read through, which is exactly what we needed.

I found the book refreshing, easy to read, precise and with a wonderful personal perspective. The writer is very honest and tells her experience raising trilingual children, admitting that perfection is not the goal and giving examples that make the readers feel identified. I have no children myself but it is my hope in the future to raise bilingual children and i found the book extremely useful. I will definately will come back to it to review the great tips and resources.
