How Many Languages Do You Speak?

Growing up multilingual: a challenge, an opportunity, or both?

How Many Languages Do You Speak? is the first book about multilingualism written especially for curious children (8+). If that’s you, open the book and join Miss Wordy and her class as they discover interesting titbits about growing up multilingual. There are also fun activities to do in each chapter.

What does multilingualism really mean? Can we learn two (or three) languages at the same time? Discover the answers in this book. You will also learn how these different languages fit into our brain, what ‘mother tongue’ means, and why it’s smart to speak your ‘home language’ with your parents.

Enjoy your journey into multilingualism!
