Today the Language Scientists are back to present the last episode of Series 3! It's been so interesting to have the chance to revisit some of the topics from this season. In this episode, we discuss some of our favourite insights and thoughts about this series. We discuss the differences in fluency a heritage speaker has in the home compared to their fluency in the majority language and how language learning is never finished: we are all learning new words everyday! We also discuss how we should ask other people and look to our community to help us share our home language with our children. Marie even shares a "firework" moment when her children started talking to each other in the home language. We don't want to stop at the home, either! let’s make schools a multilingual context where children can fully express their identities in any language they like.  And what's next for Series 4?
