Live Your Language
I'm Stefanie, a doctoral student in second language acquisition, an English as a second language instructor, and a mother raising two trilingual children in French and Spanish, my non-native languages. I'm passionate about helping others experience the richness of life in two or more languages. I started this channel because I didn't see many channels providing advice for parents raising bilingual children in a non-native language. I post videos with tips and encouragement inspired by both my PhD studies and my experiences as a non-native French speaker living in the United States raising my sons in French.
A second language is a lifelong gift we can give our children, but the journey can be difficult at times--especially for non-native speakers. I hope here you'll find the inspiration and motivation we all need to go beyond simply learning a language to truly LIVING through your language each and every day with your family.
