Bilingualism doesn't just happen | an interview with Claudia Serrano Johnson
11/17/22 • 41 min
When Claudia's eldest daughter was born, the number one priority was sheer survival. Only when her baby was around one year old and all of her first words were in English, she realized that she hadn't done much for her child's bilingualism. Something had to change. Months and months after many hurdles and fallbacks, consistency and hard work, Spanish became the main language in their family - even for her native English speaking husband.
As a Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist Claudia also shares insights from her work and we discuss the most common myths that we both work on debunking.

Den Mut finden, um eine Sprache zu sprechen | die Linguistin im Gespräch mit Angela Spiegel
Angela Spiegel hat sich schon immer für Sprachen interessiert, in der Schule lernte sie Englisch und Französisch, später dann auch noch Spanisch. Als sie ihren französischen Mann kennenlernte, hatte sie allerdings das Gefühl bereits alles vergessen zu haben. Dann merkte sie aber schnell, dass sie das meiste doch versteht. Nun fehlte ihr "nur" noch der Mut, um selber auf Französisch zu sprechen.
Genauso ergeht es vielen mehrsprachigen Kindern. Oft vergessen wir, dass manche Kinder ebenfalls Ängste, Blockaden oder Unsicherheiten in sich tragen, die sie daran hindern können eine Zweitsprache zu sprechen. In solchen Fällen gilt es mit viel Feingefühl und Verständnis auf die Kinder einzugehen.
