Testimonials
Marlyse P.
"This course was super encouraging to me as a mom who is trying to create a language environment for my toddler in my second language (Mandarin) that few people in my own community speak. I was unconfident about my ability to pass on the small amount that I know without much support from other speakers. I thought I was going to teach my son all the wrong things and ruin him in both languages by switching back and forth all the time! Elaine explained really clearly how my son’s brain works and what he needs most from his language nurturer, whomever they may be. We’re still going strong as a bilingual household and my son just started responding to me in Mandarin a few days ago! I cried tears of joy. 100% recommend this course."

"Elaine's course gave me fresh inspiration for helping our family thrive cross-culturally. She provided practical tools for our children's language and cultural learning, but also showed how everything linked back to relational keys of love and trust. Every family that is living internationally should take this course!"
Molly M.
"This course was eye opening. I have facilitated language learning for my two kids in a foreign country for three years and have seen some progress but I needed some help. This course gave me the insights I needed to get past roadblocks and smooth some bumps in the road so that my kids could have more fluency and better cultural integration. I appreciated that Elaine presented aspects of child development research that gave me insight into how to relate to my children better and how to make their language learning experience really work for them."
