With my English husband, I am raising two bilingual Serbian\/English children (at the time this text emerged \u2013 February 2024 \u2013 they are five and two years old).\n<br\/><br\/>\nAs a mum who identifies as Serbian and nourishes ties with family and friends back home, I am committed to passing on the language, values and cultural identity that I grew up with. We are raising not just bilinguals, but also biculturals and biliterates. \n<br\/><br\/>\nThis blog emerged back in 2020, when our daughter was starting to talk and I became absorbed by bilingualism. I started writing down and sharing our bilingual experiences: good bits, challenges and what we\u2019ve learnt through experience and literature. \n<br\/><br\/>\nThrough the content I create, I want to contribute to raising awareness of bilingualism and to show people who care about preserving their language and identity that they are not alone. \n<br\/><br\/>\nRaising bilingual children is a beautiful and rewarding experience, but it can be quite emotional, hard and lonely. It is a long-term journey, with lots of different phases that change quickly and sometimes unexpectedly. Not long ago we were at the beginning, working hard to give our older child a solid bilingual start. Fast forward, she is now in school and I am trying to find ways to maintain and preserve her Serbian, while at the same time starting from scratch with her younger brother. \n<br\/><br\/>\nThe experience of each bilingual family is unique. Regardless, I believe that through honest conversation about our experiences, we can help each other and learn from each other. The more numerous, the stronger we are. \n<br\/><br\/>\nBilingualism however, is not the only topic I write about. In here, you will also find texts about my experiences of motherhood and life away from my home country. \n<br\/>\nI hold an MA in English Language and Literature from Faculty of Philology in Belgrade and an MA in Communication Management at London Metropolitan University. My career so far has included: Teaching English language; translating - written, consecutive and simultaneous; and events organisation\/management.\n<br\/><br\/>\nAt the moment I work flexibly, mostly translating. When my kids are in school\/at nursery or when they sleep, I work. This type of work enables me to maximise time with them now, when they are still very young. \n<br\/><br\/>\nI hope some of my words will resonate with you.
