Is your child growing up monolingual or multilingual? If so, we warmly invite you to participate in our studies on bilingual language acquisition.

We are researching how babies and children learn language, especially when they hear multiple languages in their daily lives. For example, we are interested in the role of the language environment, how children handle different languages, and what happens when a child hears an additional language - for example, at daycare.

To better understand bilingualism, we conduct studies with both multilingual and monolingual babies and children. By participating, you’ll help us gain a better understanding of early language learning. The studies are child-friendly, voluntary, and non-binding.
