You have a great site and I had a great laugh with your World Cup humor - your puns crack me up! It is such a delight to be able to raise kids bilingually/multilingually - like living in a country and learning the language there (but in our own homes). Thanks for the visit and your comment!

I've always been a bit jealous of those who grew up in bilingual (or multilingual!) households, and more so now that there's so much discussion about the advantages of doing so. And I hope you're enjoying the World Cup! We had a lot of fun coming up with the various cheers (and their translations) for the teams, so we're hoping people are getting a kick (pun intended) out of them.

Isn't that a wonderful post about how to integrate multicultural literature? When it comes down to it, the reason we are multilingual is so that we can pass on elements about our culture - that is the most (and best) part! Thanks for the input on the David Crystal book. I'm waiting for a copy to be available at the library. Funny that many linguists aren't a fan of him. That will add to the whole aura of the book! And THANK YOU for the link to Language Log! I checked them out (looks great!) and started following them on Twitter. I love links like that! You are one wealth of information, Zoe! So happy to be connected! Thank you for the comment, Zoe!

I appreciate you taking the time to comment as I'm not always sure how interesting these posts may or may not be. And goodness, thank you for the link back to Alice's article!

I really like Modern Familia's post. I haven't read the David Crystal book - he's brilliant at writing clearly and in an engaging manner so I'm sure it will be a fun read, but I know that several academic linguists (ie who teach linguistics at universities) are not huge fans of Crystal. If you want a great blog about language I recommend Language Log: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/ Wow, what a lovely round up (thanks for including me!) – it’s so exciting to have discovered this whole new community out there.
