The ultimate course specifically designed to take your child from only understanding to finally speaking — without trying to pretend don't understand them or forcing them to speak.
No more hoping or trying random tips you find on Facebook pages. You’ll learn the exact linguist-designed process I use with families worldwide to move children from passive understanding to confident, active use of your home language.
A Clear, Science-Backed Framework to Reactivate Speaking

Tools to Reduce Resistance & Build Motivation
If your child refuses to speak or seems uncomfortable, you’ll learn how to create low-pressure speaking opportunities, boost confidence, and make the home language emotionally safe and enjoyable again.

I created this workshop because I know the biggest struggle for so many bilingual families around the world comes when they realize their bilingual child understands everything but won’t say more than a few isolated words in one of their languages.
After years of research, education, and working with hundreds of families, I’ve discovered that language resistance usually comes down to one (or more) of five main issues:
· Exposure issues
· Lack of need
· Speaking anxiety or language dynamics
· Unmatched language skills
· Poor language associations
The Language Activation Workshop helps you identify which issues are holding your child back, so you can get to the root cause and actually make a change. You'll walk away with you practical, connection-based solutions to unlock your child's bilingualism & get them speaking.
