We’ll walk through 26 real, influential factors that shape bilingualism, from:
A – Approach: How your family’s language setup and strategy influence outcomes.
E – Exposure: Understanding how much input children really need.
I – Identity: How belonging and background are connected to use.
M – Motivation: The hidden force behind speaking a language.
S – Support: The role of community, teachers, and extended family.
W – Windows of Opportunity: When it’s 'easier' to learn but why it’s never too late.

My work has taken me deep into how children grow up with more than one language, from studying bilingual development in academic world to working directly with hundreds of families around the globe.
And what I've discovered to be the most true is this: no two bilingual families are the same.
And i know this sounds cliche... but there is so much individual variation it's almost impossible to find yourself in the exact same situation as another family. Your child’s languages, your routines, your cultural mix, even your personalities — all of these shape how bilingualism unfolds in your home.
That’s why I created this workshop: to help parents understand the factors that actually influence bilingualism, grounded in real science and lived experience. Because when you understand your family’s unique setup, you can make confident choices that truly fit you.
Hey there — I'm Kat! Linguist, M.A. and your bilingual language development specialist
Yes! The 26 factors apply to babies, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children and even adults! Understanding what influences bilingualism is useful at any stage and many actually can already be seen even before kids are born.
Will this workshop work for my toddler?
Absolutely not. The workshop is designed for everyday parents and requires zero background in linguistics/language studies. I'll explain everything you need to know to understand!
Do I need a linguistics background to benefit?
No problem! All attendees receive 30-day replay access so you can watch on your own schedule.
What if I can’t attend live?
It's not guaranteed. I often take my most popular live workshops and turn them into on-demand trainings (like my partner workshop!) but it's not 100% guaranteed it will return in any form. So if you're interested in joining, join now!
Will this be offered again?
The early-bird price is $17 but will go up on January 1st so make sure you lock in your spot!
