Ep. 49: The Non-Native Parent - Interview with Misty

Episode 49 - Today's guest is Misty, a self-proclaimed small-town girl from the US. She and Heather, the host, met while studying abroad in France, and Misty takes us back to those first days arriving in a new country and realizing how much she still had to learn, despite years of studying French.  She met her French husband there and we talk about how they've balanced their use of French and English over the years depending on their situation and goals. Misty and Heather discuss the real struggles they both face when raising multilingual children as the non-native parent. They mention specific examples and brainstorm ways to make the most out of each situation we may find ourselves in. Misty's story will inspire you and make you laugh out loud.  If you'd like to get in touch with her you will find her on Instagram @mistyclover and on LinkedIn.
