Which group do you belong to?
It is easy to ask for advice, but whose should you follow?
You have more in common with people in the same household constellation than friends who speak the same language.
A household constellation describes an experience. It draws parallels to language dynamics as opposed to looking for linguistic similarities. Knowing yours means you can find the relevant insights and stories that will matter to you most, and filter those according to your personal preference. This will make it much easier for you to find what suits you best.
We have defined four household constellations: monolingual, bilingual minority, trilingual, and bilingual majority household. Each has their own advantages and challenges to master. To find out which you belong to all you have to do is answer two simple questions.
You need people who speak your language for playdates and social interactions. You need people who are in the same household constellation to ask for advice.
