So the holidays are over and it is definitely time for a new blog post! So let's talk about Charlotte Mason and language learning.

Our Bilingual Journey so far Background I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk through our bilingual journey. The decisions and the changes we made on our journey. Our decision was easy with regards to the language that we were going to choose. I am a Brit living in Austria so our majority language is German and the minority language is English. Our decision to raise our child bilingually, was the fact that she should be able to communicate with my family and friends in the UK. Plus I did ...
My name is Rachel and I am so pleased that you have found your way here.
I support families who are either raising their children bilingually or who wish to introduce english or german into their home or homeschooling routine using nature and the great outdoors.
I started 'The Outdoor Bilingual Learner' initally as I was writing my bilingual book, after finding that bilingual resources in english and german were extremely lacking (having looked for various resources being a bilingual home). Also in order to not only share my experience of raising a child bilingually but also to encourage more families to spend more time outdoors to learn langauges.
I wish to inspire families to overcome any reservations that they may have in introducing english or german into their homes and for them to gain confidence in their language journey.
