Hi everyone,

My name is Amy, and at this moment I'm doing a research project for a thesis in order to finish my Bachelor studies Dutch language and culture at Utrecht University. The subject of this thesis is bilingualism Swedish- Dutch.

It's a small research project to the Dutch language proficiency of native Swedish children. I've only heard recently that I'm allowed to start the research, so I'm searching for people who would like to be involved in the project on short- term! (next week or beginning of week 26 max).

I'm looking for children around the age of 5 years old (4-6 is fine), with Swedish (-speaking) parents, but living in the Netherlands. In an interview of max. 1 hour, me and the child will talk about pictures in a children's picture book. The conversations will be recorded to analyse the data, but the name of the child will be anonymous in the final paper. The interview can take place at your families house.

Do you know a Swedish family/ are you living in NL and do they/ you have a child in the age of 4-6 that is able to speak both Swedish and Dutch? Please feel free to contact me! a.m.h.vanderven (at) students.uu.REMOVE-THIS.nl
