Summer holidays: the perfect time to cultivate the family language
Summer vacation is finally here! School is over and there is no homework or afternoon programs full of music lessons, sports or other "leisure" activities that fill our calendar during the school year. These holidays offer the ideal opportunity to maintain and strengthen the family language.

The stress-free time without the daily stress of school and busy schedules is perfect for spending quality time with the children. Use the iLanguage perspective and integrate the language into everyday life in a playful and natural way.
Here are some ideas on how you can use the holidays to promote family language:
Cooking together : Spend time in the kitchen, cooking together and talking about the recipes, ingredients and preparation steps. This not only improves language skills, but is also fun and strengthens cohesion.
2. Short trips : Take trips into nature, visit museums or other interesting places and use the opportunity to talk about what you have seen and experienced. This will expand your vocabulary and create shared memories.
3. Play board games : Family game nights are a great way to practice language while having fun. Choose games that encourage communication and interaction.
4. Have conversations : Use your free time to chat quietly with your children. Tell stories, share memories or discuss different topics. This strengthens language skills and promotes a close family bond.
These activities will not only provide you with wonderful memories, but will also contribute significantly to the promotion of the family language. Enjoy your holidays while practising your languages in a relaxed and fun way.
Wishing you a nice summer
