I know many of you come to Mammaprada for information on raising Bilingual Children.
We are always on the lookout for great resources and passionate businesses who can help with this process.
Read MoreLearning a second language unlocks countless doors throughout life. It not only improves a person's career opportunities but broadens their social sphere.

Read MoreWe’ve reached the Summer term! I hope you’re all back to school and into a routine?

They will be going to school as a shark and a penguin carrying their favourite books. There has been a bit of backlash this year from people claiming that children just dress up and don’t actually care about the books.
Read MoreThis week on Bilingual children I’m sharing a document I’ve created on levels of fluency.
It’s very easy to have in your mind that you would like your child to be bilingual without maybe considering what this really means.

The initiative has been running for 21 years and the next one will take place on 1st March 2018.
