In this episode of the Multilingual Montessori Podcast, we have an Olympics recap!

Gabrielle is back from volunteering at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and has learned a lot of new vocabulary. And Jenna has an update on the big kindergarten decision and where her child will be going to school next year!

This month, we’re answering the questions: Why isn’t television considered high-quality language input? What makes it different than reading a book out loud to kids? And can screens ever be beneficial for language learning?

Things we mention in the epidode:

⁠Muzzy commercial on YouTube⁠

⁠”The Parents Aren’t All Right” – The Daily⁠

⁠Snack Homiez SNL skit on YouTube
