The Bilingual Revolution: Adopt a Translation Campaign!

Today is International Translation Day which is celebrated every year on September 30 to show solidarity of the worldwide translation community in an effort to promote the translation profession in different countries.

Book Party at The Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn

Back In Brooklyn where everything began! It was here that, 10 years ago, the first French dual language program was launched at P.S. 58. Many programs followed after that in French, Russian, Japanese, German, Italian, Chinese, Polish, Arabic. More programs and languages will be added in the years to come, I’m sure of that. I wanted the book to be directed towards parents, with the goal of providing accessible knowledge, guidance, and encouragement as they consider implementing a dual-language program in their community or school. In that spirit, the book provides a roadmap for parents willing to embark on such an initiative, along with suggested steps to follow, examples, and testimonies from parents and educators who have chosen a similar path.

Book Launch of The Bilingual Revolution at Albertine Bookstore

I was thrilled to see so many people come to my first event in New York. It was an exciting moment for me to both present this book and spread the word about the Bilingual Revolution.

I had a great exchange with lots of parents, educators, journalists, and people who are just as passionate as I am about bilingualism and language education. We share the same belief that dual-language education has the potential to serve many families, communities, and schools in the U.S. and around the world.
