Multilingual Kids. International Families. Intertwining Cultures. Everyday Life.
In this episode of WeCultivate: The Pod, Michelle speaks with Jovana about raising three children across four languages inside an international family.
Jovana is originally from Serbia and now lives in Germany with her Cuban husband. Together they navigate daily life across Serbian, Spanish, German, and English while building a family environment where language and culture grow naturally through everyday interactions.
This conversation explores the realities of multilingual parenting, intercultural relationships, and the importance of modeling imperfect language use for children. Instead of rigid rules or classroom-style language systems, Jovana shares how multilingualism develops through lived experiences, connection, and adaptability.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
• Raising children across multiple languages
• Intercultural relationships and international family life
• Modeling language naturally for children
• Why perfection isn’t necessary for multilingual environments
• What multilingualism actually looks like in everyday life
