Blogging Carnival on Bilingualism - September 2011

We are starting the Blogging Carnival on Bilingualism this month in the land of the rising sun:

Jenn at Perogies & Gyoza goes to the library and has a big surprise in A Bittersweet Milestone.

Some time later, the sun rises in Singapore:

Cordelia at Multilingual Mama hears her daughter speak Singlish and muses about dialects in “Por Favor LAH” : Singlish, Ebonics, and the role of different dialects.

While people in the Far East go about their day, the first Europeans get out of their cosy, warm beds:

From I can't even think of a title comes a start of a language learning diary in Mbukka-mbukka? (Can I have a piece of that cubumber please?)

Sabina over at Bilingua per Gioco tries to boost the minority language by sending her son to a school in Berlin in Organising a study period abroad, primary school.

Roxana at SpanglishBaby shares three strategies that should help your kids become bilingual in Bilingual Babies: The Sooner, The Better.

Giovanna at Italo Bimbi assures us that bilinguals are not more likely to forget their languages when they grow old in Languages can be forgotten.

Jen at Trilingual Trio is amazed by having the politest baby in the world in Polite baby!

Annabelle at Lingula clears up a few things about babbling in When daddy really means Daddy: Babbles are not words.

Maria at Busy as a Bee in Paris explains how their "2 weeks per language" system works in The mechanics of switching between languages.

Bonne Maman over at Our Non-Native Bilingual Adventure sees what she's up against in Is there such a thing as the perfect balance?

Solnushka at Verbosity has to make a choice in On education, education, education and sacrifice.

The day draws to an end for most people on Earth, but the population of the Americas only just wakes up:

Smashedpea at Intrepidly Bilingual tells the tale of her daughter's biliteral progress in Budding Biliteracy.

Elizabeth at La Mother Tongue shares English words with her daughter and makes her laugh in Bedtime Stories of a Language Nerdo's Child.

Lynn at Open Hearts, Open Minds wonders whether her 2-year-old likes Spanish class or not in La Clase de Español.

Salma at Chasing Rainbow wonders whether a language should be judged by its value in What's wrong with Kiswahili?.

Sarah at Bringing up Baby Bilingual tells us how her boy creatively describes words he doesn't know in look who's circumlocuting!.

From Molly comes an article about recent findings at the University of Washington at Bilingual babies' vocabulary linked to early brain differentiation.

By now the world is tired and mostly asleep, ready for the East to rise again soon. The carnival is over and it was so big this month that I decided to start a new tradition: I will not add one of our own articles.

Thanks for reading, and have a good night!

It's a Carnival: Raising Your Child Bilingually

Welcome to It's a Carnival: Raising your child bilingually, a monthly get-together for all interested in bilingualism and in raising bilingual children and an opportunity to share experiences, info and best practices.

Every month the Carnival is hosted at a different blog. You can check the schedule and book your turn for hosting (next available slot seems to be March, so if you’re interested you should let us know as soon as possible). If you’d like to be updated about future issues, know when and how to submit your posts to the carnival, or just make sure you won’t miss any, please sign up to the newsletter, which will be used only for the bare minimum of communication needed to get the Carnival going, normally 2 emails per month, nothing else.

So, in no particular order, here are the articles for this month:

- Clo at "Multi Tongue Kids" shares how she and her family might come across as crazy in everyday situation, simply because they are using so many languages and nobody else understands them.

- Deanna at "Bilingual Readers" looks at whether watching TV might have a positive effect on learning more languages.

- Stefanie at "Mummy Do That" tells the story of her daughter's first Laternenumzug (lantern procession) and evokes an aspect of bilingual life: multi-culturalism.

- Tanja at "Intrepidly Bilingual" is also reporting on culture and how by actively following the traditions of all cultures, she motivates her children to speak the minority language.

- Maria at "Fab Mums" writes about the same subject, cultural exposure. Her example fits nicely into the time of year: christmas songs.

- From "Blogging on Bilingualism" comes a very interesting question: do we, the parents, have to make some sacrifices?

- Solnushka at "Verbosity" discusses Stephen Krashen and the silent period. She also explains why learning from TV won't work.

- My own post from Babelkid is on OPOMLAH and why I think that's a good constellation.

- Last but not least I would like to point out two articles that were not submitted but somehow touched a nerve. Suzanne at "Notes from the OPOL family" gets help from her cat and Reb at "Uh Oh Spaghettios" deals with the perception others have when they think she is not a native speaker.

I hope you enjoyed our carnival this month! Please do not hesitate to pass on the message! Tweet it, share it on Facebook, invite people to read and participate! We are still a tiny minority on the network, but I can't see why that wouldn't change...

The next carnival will be held at Bilingual Readers on January 20th. So sign up to the newsletter, check out the schedule and most importantly: keep sharing those great bilingual and multilingual stories!

Thanks a lot,
Souad & Jan at BabelKid
