I think that from the time I was a teenager I knew that I wanted my children to speak more than one language. It always fascinated me when I saw little ones with their mamas switching between German and French or English and Chinese as if it wasn’t a big deal. I don’t know why really, but wanted that for my children. Now I have two little girls that are learning not two, but three languages. And watching them learn their way through being trilingual has been as fascinating as I thought it would be. Languages are such a beautiful thing.

What about you? Do you live in a multilingual home? Or dream to? Would love to hear about it!

1. Love notes in every languages on the Zettel’z 5 chandelier via Y lighting. Some of our friends in Denmark have it and it’s such a cool design piece. A bit pricey for me, but the idea could be applied on a different DIY.
2. Leather his and hers travel tags, “Traveling with…since….” by Leather Made Nice.
3. “Curious” reversible braille message necklace by Bird of Virtue.
