Children are language catchers!

Young children pick up sounds, words and grammar at lightning speed. Especially before the age of 7, their brains are especially sensitive to language development.

Two languages = smarter brain

Multilingual children train their brains to switch between languages. This helps with concentration, problem-solving and even creativity.

Mistakes are allowed!

Making 'language mistakes' is quite normal and part of the learning process. The more children dare to speak, the faster they learn.

Language learning happens everywhere

Children learn not only at school, but also at home, on the street, in the supermarket or while reading aloud. Everything counts!

Reading aloud in the mother tongue also helps with Dutch

When parents read aloud in their own language, it helps children develop a strong language base. That base also supports learning Dutch.

Multilingualism is a superpower

Children who speak multiple languages can communicate with more people and often have a better understanding of other cultures. A great asset for the future!
