Ghiti: educating our kids to bilingualism
while having fun

“Ghiti” is a site full of cartoons, videos, games, cut-out drawings and much more, designed so that children between 3 and 10 years old can play and have fun in a quality Friulian-Italian bilingual context. Developing and strengthening the knowledge of multiple languages from an early age is "child's play", which gives great cognitive, social and cultural benefits throughout life.
