Comments from previous years' workshops: "For me the workshop was really enjoyable and highly interesting; I could have spent many more hours learning about and discussing the topic. Even the short workshop was useful and helped me put more structure in my thoughts about raising multilingual children. Hope to participate again." —Sascha "I would like to commend you and Tracey for a truly wonderful seminar. Thank you for organizing this. The information we all received on Wednesday has proven to be so useful and was delivered in such a fun and jovial way that it would be forever remembered. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! And I'm completely with you about not being able to recall word for word what Tracey says. She cited examples that made everything so clear and I'd love to stop, rewind and play her again and again.;-) She's amazing! Thank you again for such a wonderful workshop!" —Kecia "Thank you very much for making this excellent workshop available! I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. I was about to give up on speaking Italian with my daughter, but got my second wind now." —Maria "Many thanks for introducing Tracey the other night. She is phenomenal! The volume of research she shared on raising multilingual kids and the energy with which she conducted the evening was brilliantly impressive." —Purmina "Just wanted to say the workshop was great, inspiring and really very, very helpful. Many thanks for organizing it, great initiative." —Joanna LOCATIONS:
