Keeping every language strong.
Maybe your child has stopped speaking your language back to you. Maybe school has started and the majority language is slowly taking over. Or maybe you are simply looking for a way to open up the conversation about their languages and how important they are. Whatever brought you here, this workbook was made with your family in mind.
My Languages, My World
My Languages, My World
How I use my languages and keep them strong
A reflective workbook for bilingual children to explore their own language landscape. Rooted in research on language motivation and identity, this book is designed not to teach, but to affirm. Children who feel proud of their languages are more motivated to keep using them.
Through guided writing and reflection activities, your child explores who they speak each language with, how languages are part of their everyday life, and what feelings come with each one. The workbook ends with a personal "language wish" where children set their own intention for keeping their languages close.
The book works for any number of languages and any combination. Suitable for ages 5–10, it can be completed independently or alongside a parent, caregiver, or teacher. Younger children will enjoy having a grown-up work through it with them.

Designed with care
Calm and guided
Every page offers gentle questions and open space. There are no right or wrong answers. Children are free to express themselves in whatever way feels natural to them, at their own pace.
For any language combination
Whether a child speaks two languages or five, and whichever languages they are, the workbook works for every combination. It is designed around the child, not around a specific language.
Alone or together
Children can work through the book independently, or use it together with a parent, caregiver, or teacher as a starting point for meaningful conversations about language and identity.
A language wish
The workbook includes a special section where children think about how they want to keep using their languages. It's a small but powerful way for children to claim their languages as their own.
Beautifully illustrated
Every page is brought to life with warm, original illustrations that celebrate the richness of childhood. It is a book children genuinely enjoy spending time with.
Grounded in research
Created by a linguistic researcher, the workbook draws on what we know about language development, identity, and what helps children stay connected to all of their languages.
