Episode 6: Review of the book Language Strategies for Trilingual Families: Parents' perspectives

In this episode we discuss the pros and cons of this book. Overall, this book is a good read. Andreas Braun and Tony Cline do a good job at explaining and summarizing the limited research conducted with trilingual/multilingual families and their linguistic practices. We were drawn to this book because it portrays parents and sometimes children's testimonials on their linguistic practices and attitudes towards trilingualism. A note to the listener: this book is contextualized in Europe, the authors only interviewed families living in Germany and the UK, but these families spoke a wide variety of languages (Polish, Rumanian, Vietnamese, etc).
