About Us

Our Family

We are a multicultural family of six. I am Algerian, my husband is German, three of our daughters were born in England and the fourth one in Switzerland.

The BabelDad and I met in France, then moved to England in 2004 and Switzerland in 2014. Our experiences abroad have deeply affected our ways of thinking and how we see the world.

Our languages

As a family, we speak five languages on a daily basis: Algerian Arabic, French, German, English and Swiss. Not everyone speaks every language, but we somehow find ways to communicate between us and the world around us.

Why BabelKid

We started this blog a year after our eldest daughter was born, at the suggestion of a friends of ours, himself the father of bilingual children. So thanks Tim for the idea!
