Join us on your family language journey

Welcome to everyone who landed here at Mother Tongue because you are raising children in more than one language. Whether that's your own children, grandchildren, adopted children, those in your service or community - or any little ones who might love learning languages.

You believe in the value of transmitting languages to the next generation and building cultural identity and heritage through family language. We're with you! And we’re in good company, as 20% of UK school children are multilingual.

Mother Tongue is born out of nearly two decades of working with children and families across the globe, and more recently starting down our own bilingual family path. We know the power of families in supporting children to learn and grow. And the power of imagination, celebration and play.

We are committed to helping bilingual and multilingual children to thrive. So, count on Mother Tongue for a blend of culture, connection, and language resources to support you in building your family's heritage language with your children.
