Home educating young children in multiple languages: resources and tips

[Holidaysandsunshine]

Does anyone home ed and is teaching their children multiple languages do you have an resources/ tips/ tricks

I would love to find other home ed people who can speak these languages any one got any ideas

infant aged children and preschool who are I would say bi lingual in one and have holiday understanding in the other so 100 words maybe

We don't HS but our children are speaking/studying multiple languages.

I thing resources depend on the language and learning style.

Games, songs, books, playdates, music, radio, cartoons, films, online classes, spending time abroad and with people speaking the language can be options.

My DH just speaks the second language so he has a mixture two languages…but I would be keen to know the answer to this incase we can do this any better?

Not much help on specific languages, sorry. The thing most people seem to land on though is less teaching and more shifting ordinary daily stuff into the weaker language. Same bedtime book over and over, cartoons they already know off by heart with the audio track switched. Netflix and Disney+ both let you change it. At around 100 words it's repetition doing the work rather than the material itself.

Two things people forget. Library apps (BorrowBox or Libby depending on your council) often carry children's ebooks in other languages, worth a look at what yours has. And supplementary schools, the Saturday community language ones. There are thousands across England, usually run by parents and not expensive, so there may well be one near you for at least one of your languages.
