Calgary Finlandia Cultural Association

Join us for a 2-hour webinar for the parents of Calgary Little Finns, where Soile Pietikäinen will answer questions about bilingual development, specifically with focus on Finnish language. Soile is Finnish and lives in London, UK. She is trilingual in Finnish-English-Italian and a mother of native trilingual young adults. At work she is a sociologist specialized in bilingual family interaction. She studies how parents and children really interact in bilingual family homes, and helps parents transform their children’s bilingualism. 

The first hour of the event can be held in English if we have English speaking parents interested in attending. The second hour will be held in Finnish only. Please use this form to register for this event and submit your questions by September 30, 2022: https://forms.gle/CXvhzjxerRatTY4XA.
