Language Reactivation Masterclass

  • 18 Lessons

A research-backed masterclass for parents of passive bilinguals who understand but rarely speak ONE of their languages (their heritage language). Learn why this happens, how to boost meaningful input, use proven strategies like scaffolding and recasting, and create routines that turn comprehension into confident speech—without pressuring, guilt or "pretending" you don't understand the community language.
