Tetsu Yung - Successfully raising bilingual and multilingual children - how much does it cost?
Raising bilingual or multilingual children is a marathon that needs to start early and lasts for many years. Along the way, there are a plethora of ideas for your kids to learn languages. The costs for some popular options in Japan and in Asia in general, such as private lessons, language schools, or online courses, are easy to assess, although the results are often less than optimal. But there are countless other unique and effective ideas out there, some for which the costs are hard to estimate and other information difficult to find. Here, I will discuss the costs and outcomes of a wide range of ideas that we have been applying for over 7 years to successfully raise our 3 kids to fluently speak 5 languages, namely, English, French, Japanese, Mandarin, and Spanish. Ideas vary widely in costs, including daily activities and hobbies, international schools, employing au pairs, and living in different countries. I hope our experience can serve as a reference or even an inspiration for all the parents out there who want to raise the next generation of global citizens. タイトル:成功するバイリンガル・マルチリンガル子育ては、一体いくらかかるか? 子供をバイリンガル・マルチリンガルに育て上げることは、早期から始め、長年もかかるマラソンのようなもの。日本及びアジア全般的に、子供たちに言語習得をさせる方法として、家庭教師、語学学校、オンラインコースなどが普及しているかと思いますが、これら手法は簡単に費用が見積もれるものの、期待のほど結果が出ないケースも多々あるのではないでしょうか。他にもユニークで効果的な方法は沢山ありますが、いくらかかるのか不安で多言語教育を始められない親御さんもいることでしょう。そこで、ここでは、過去7年間の我が家の5ヶ国語子育て(英、仏、日、中、西)にかかった費用や手法を公開したいと思います。日頃の活動や趣味、インターナショナルスクール、オペアの採用、他国での生活などなど、コストの幅は広く、意外に多言語教育が身近に感じられるかもしれません。私たちの経験が、次世代の国際人を育てようと目指している皆さんの参考、またはインスピレーションになれば幸いです。 AskTetsu.com Montreal.LangFest.org Join us at: PolyglotConference.com fb.com/PolyglotConference fb.com/groups/PolyglotConference twitter.com/Polyglot_Confer instagram.com/PolyglotConference The Language Event Join us at: TheLanguageEvent.com fb.com/TheLanguageEvent fb.com/groups/TheLanguaageEventEdinburgh fb.com/groups/TheLanguageEventAuckland fb.com/groups/ThelanguageEventMelbourne twitter.com/PolyglotMeetup instagram.com/TheLanguageEvent Filming & Editing: Simos Batzakis
