Cate Hamilton and her friend Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp set up Babel Babies in 2011.
Parents get together with their young children to sing songs and read stories together... but in a foreign language!
Languages covered include French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Norwegian and Japanese and with classes taking place across England, the response to their sessions is not only having a positive effect on the kids but the parents are developing a love for language learning too!
Don't worry, this is not your average podcast fanfaring the joys of language learning, we delve much deeper into what anyone can do to get involved in language learning in a fun, practical way that fits in with our busy lives. We chewed the fat on what the stereotypical English native speaker looks like, reminisced on songs from our past and even how lusting after celebrity lookalikes might spark a passion for language learning too.
