I began the Bilingual Monkeys blog way back in September 2012, when my kids were still just 8 and 6. Today (as of April 2026), they’re 21 and 19.

My own bilingual journey is now over. 🥹

The blog also branched off into a very lively forum, The Bilingual Zoo (open from 2014~2024), as well as a publishing venture called Bilingual Adventures, which produced a range of books that have become quite popular, including Maximize Your Child’s Bilingual Ability and Bilingual Success Stories Around the World.

If you’re reading these words, you’re probably in the thick of your own bilingual journey right now. I encourage you to continue moving forward by hacking into this blog for ideas and inspiration. (There are over 500 blog posts, on all aspects of raising bilingual kids.) You can approach it from a variety of angles, as suggested below.

And if you’re interested in working with me personally, please visit BECK BILINGUAL. I offer mentoring for parents, English tutoring for kids and teens, and English coaching for adults. 😀
