I follow Joanna&#8217;s Q&amp;A on Instagram because there is always a lot of information, a lot of knowledge from research. I signed up for consultations to discuss how to prepare for moving to another country, which will happen to us in two years. We live in Poland and I wanted to introduce the intended bilingualism as best as possible. Asia made me realise how many different strategies are out there, I thought there was only OPOL, and OPOL didn&#8217;t work at all. Now I feel that this bilingualism comes out a little more naturally, without forcing myself.<\/p>\n<p>Ania T., mum of Franek, Warsaw<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"shortcode-teaser img-full\"><div class=\"shortcode-teaser-content text-big\"><p>I attended Joanna&#8217;s webinar in March organized by Mother Tongues. A fantastic dose of knowledge and practical tips to use at home, I wrote two pages of notes. The coolest part was the Q&amp;A, because all these questions were relevant to me &#8211; it was nice to discuss with other parents who have similar questions and doubts. I am waiting for webinars in Polish!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Marta S., mum of Wiktoria and Weronika, Coventry<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"shortcode-teaser img-full\"><div class=\"shortcode-teaser-content text-big\"><p>I&#8217;ve been following Joanna&#8217;s posts on IG from the very beginning. I watched all the lives on IG, it&#8217;s so much knowledge about a common sense and at the same time relaxed approach to bilingual upbringing. I recently made an appointment for a consultation to discuss the choice of a more flexible strategy for multilingual upbringing. We have four languages \u200b\u200bat home, so it&#8217;s fun. I had no idea how to plan it all, and soon our four-year-old will be joined by a younger sister. It&#8217;s all much clearer now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ania K., Szymon&#8217;s mum, Zurich<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"shortcode-teaser img-full\"><div class=\"shortcode-teaser-content text-big\"><p>I came across Joanna&#8217;s Instagram account in January this year. I&#8217;m waiting for the next posts about bilingualism, I learn so much about myself and my whole family. I stopped worrying all the time whether my children&#8217;s language development is okay, now I know that some phenomena that worried me are actually normal. I have more understanding for my children and much more enthusiasm and motivation to support their Polish at home. I can feel the enormous pressure that has been building up over the years slowly coming off of me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ola B., mum of Iga and Daniel, Berlin<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1623448668246{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1690364310504{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]I am a psychologist and a doctor of social sciences.
