Bilingual Acquisition with Dr Christina Schelletter

How I have got this podcast up in time with little A ill I don’t know, but I am so pleased I have managed because it is brilliantly informative! This week I am chatting with Dr Christina Schelletter an expert in bilingual acquisition, bilingual processing and language disorders.  Christina has published many research papers (one I attempted to read and swiftly couldn’t understand) but also has a ‘Introduction to Bilingualism’ book coming out very soon (CLICK HERE FOR LINK). Christina joins us this week sharing her professional knowledge but also drawing from personal experience. Christina is German and brought up two daughters bilingual! As Hendrik and I embark on this journey with A, I ask her ALL the questions; Is it harder for babies to learn two languages?  What are the recommendations? Can both parents go between languages? Methods to increase exposure to the minority language. Best ways to increase vocabulary.  If parents are both English or one language, can another language be taught at a young age? Starting to write French.  Is it true that children speech is delayed when bringing them up bilingual? And so much more as always! This week also marks episode 8 of a 10 part series! But do not fear we are of course back for Series 6! What would you like to hear? DM me at mumtalkpodcast instagram or email me at mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com.  Series 5 is supported by @bugaboostrollers . Make sure you listen closely to the interlude and right to the end of the podcast for their little gift to you! We’ve got you covered! Be sure to head to bugaboo.com/mumtalk for the full Bugaboo range which we talk through this week.  I know I ask this every week but PLEASE do subscribe, most importantly RATE and review, it really does help others to find this podcast.  Tune in next week for all things children and allergies!  Emma Xx Hosted on Acast.

Mum Talk is here for you on your journey into parenthood providing your 'nod along' and 'me too' moments plus answering all the questions we all have! For the first 13 series, Emma is joined by not only incredibly knowledgable guests, some experts in their field, but also Mums and Dads sharing their experience of pregnancy and parenthood. Emma also shares her personal journey from pregnancy to life now with two. Mum Talk is honest, real and informative. For series 14, Emma is back with a brand new series and brand new conversation with her co-host Ali Bastian, who you may recognise from hit TV shows, Hollyoaks, The Bill and Strictly Come Dancing. Ali and Emma are in the thick of motherhood and are here to deep dive into it all with you. Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known. Ali and Emma have one goal, as it has always been from the beginning of Mum Talk almost 5 years ago, to share in the hope no-one ever feels alone in motherhood. Ali and Emma are here for it all, the highs, the lows, the journey that is motherhood, the realities of building a family, life, love, laughter, tears, heartbreak you name it. Grab a cuppa or pop your headphones in and head out for a walk, join Ali and Emma for ‘hearts on sleeves’ mum talk and journey through motherhood together.  Hosted on Acast.
