🎙【Guest: Linda Chow｜Cantonese, Mandarin, and English—How This U.S.-Based Mum Raised Trilingual Kids】

In this episode, we’re honoured to have Linda Chow join us as our guest. Linda is a practising Speech-Language Pathologist and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) based in New York, USA—and most importantly, she’s a mum of two multilingual children!

Linda shares how she implements multilingual education at home. Her children, now aged 10 and 8, not only understand but also speak, read, and write in both Chinese and English, all while maintaining their Cantonese!

💡In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Linda designed a home language environment that integrates languages naturally into everyday life
• Her strategies for nurturing intrinsic motivation to speak Cantonese and Chinese
• Practical examples, activities, and routines that encourage children to actively use Cantonese
• As a professional therapist and a mum, how Linda balances “learning a language” vs “preserving a heritage language”

If you're a parent raising children in a multilingual household—especially overseas—and wondering how to help your child maintain their Chinese skills, or if your child is reluctant to speak Cantonese, this episode is full of real-life experiences and valuable tips that will support your journey.
