Dear Participant,
 
We are a group of international researchers from Saint Joseph University of Beirut, Newcastle University, and University of Plymouth who are interested in understanding the nature of the rich linguistic environment in Lebanon. This study is part of Bulbul, a project which aims to promote early language development across Lebanon, Jordan, West Bank, and Egypt.
 
 

You are invited to participate in this online questionnaire on the language or languages we use in Lebanon inside and outside the home. When filling out this questionnaire, you will be answering some general questions about you such as your age and the area where you live, which languages you speak, how often and how well, and, if you have a young child, telling us what languages they hear around them.This should take you no longer than 15 minutes.
 
Please note that your participation is voluntary, and all your answers will be confidential, stored securely and will only be accessed by the research team.
