September
Lunch & Learn for International Parents

A practical, parent-friendly session for employees raising children with more than one language.

For September, Multilingual Marvels is offering a limited number of complimentary introductory sessions for Dublin-based international companies.

The session is designed for working parents navigating English, home languages, school routines, identity and family communication.

Why this topic now?

September 26 is European Day of Languages

Back-to-school is often when multilingual family questions become more visible.

Children may be starting school in English, spending less time in the home language, resisting a parent’s language or mixing languages more than before. For international parents, this can create real uncertainty.

School transition

Children may use more English once school routines begin.

Designed for real family life

This is not a lecture about perfect multilingual parenting.

It is a practical session for busy working parents who want to make good language choices at home without guilt, pressure or unrealistic routines.

Parents leave with a clearer understanding of what is normal, what matters most, and what small habits can help.
