Hi! I’m Nicole, and I’m a Family Language Coach

Giving your family’s languages a voice

I’m Nicole Maina — translator, interpreter, and coach for multilingual families.
My work is to guide families toward linguistic harmony, helping both parents and children flourish with a sense of serenity, rooted identity, and openness to the world.

My story, my approach

I come from a bilingual family: I’m Italian, but I was born and raised in Germany.
I experienced firsthand both the challenges and the opportunities of growing up with two languages and two cultures — with deep roots in two homelands and branches reaching beyond borders. At times it was twice as demanding, but it allowed me to flourish.

Throughout my career as a translator and interpreter, I’ve been immersed in multilingualism every day for over twenty years.
But it was only after becoming a mother of two — children who are now bilingual — that I fully understood the value of the gift my parents gave me through our two languages.
At the same time, I felt a deep responsibility to do the same for my children and to offer them every opportunity and advantage that bilingualism can bring.

Raising bilingual children doesn’t just mean passing on more than one language. It’s much more than that.
