Transcription: 
I am Simona Montanari. I have a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Southern California. I am now professor of Language Development and Second Language Acquisition in Childhood at California State University Los Angeles. My passion has always been multilingualism, multiculturalism, and especially looking at how children acquire multiple languages in childhood. I have published extensively in this area and I usually also offer workshops on how to raise bilingual children and offer advice for all parents interested in raising their children with multiple languages. I have two daughters, ages six and seven and they are trilingual and triliterate in Spanish, Italian and English and my hobby is horseback riding. -
