Ute, the owner of Ute’s International Lounge and founder of this Academy.
I am multilingual since a very early age and I speak, read and write Italian, German, French, English and Dutch fluently, and Spanish (A2 level; working on it), as well as some Italian and German dialects, and Old-French and Old-Provencal – I am currently learning Korean.
I grew up across cultures and with multiple languages. I am a linguist and intercultural communication expert with a PhD in Romance Philology.
As a Language Consultant for multilingual families I have helped hundreds of families maintain their home languages and cultures when living abroad, whilst embracing new ones.
My wish for you is to enjoy being a parent of multilingual children, to embrace the chance of supporting them on their journey, and, first and foremost, to have fun transmitting your language(s) with confidence and pride!
