Hello Everyone, If you are raising a bilingual/multilingual family, I highly recommend Multilingual Living Magazine. I have just finished reading their September/October 2008 issue and it is excellent!
The latest issue (put out by the dedicated Corey Heller in the US and Alice Lapuerta in Austria) includes these topics and more:
- Multilingualism in Kindergarten
- Parenting in an Adopted Mother Tongue
- Do Media Help or Hinder Bilingualism
- Immigration and Language
- 12 Common Myths and Misconceptions about Bilingual Children
- Interview with author Barbara Zurer Pearson: Raising A Bilingual Child
It also includes lots of fun 'tid-bits' as well, for example:
(1) "Did you know that there are only four words in the English language that end in 'dous'? Tremendous, horrendous, stupendous and hazardous"
(2) "Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery" Mark Amidon
(3) "Oredr of the ltteers: Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch procejt at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosnt mttaer waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter."
The online bi-monthly magazine (set to be quarterly in 2009) is currently only US$12 per year. You can grab your free sample edition here. Submissions and enquiries are welcome here.
Well done Corey and Alice. Regards, Andrea.
