Language, career, and family

In this family session we will share our stories of how language has opened to us a world of professional and personal opportunities for us as parents and partners. We will also let you peer into the lives of our children to see how we are preparing them for the future with fluency in English, Russian, German, and Chinese. We will also show you how our children use their German while playing Minecraft with a local friend.
