"Marhaba" from Beirut, Lebanon, April.
It really is great that our children are learning several different languages. The world is becoming smaller and smaller, and it's our children who will experience the wonders of it.
My sons grew up speaking both English and Arabic; and they have been able to use both languages to their benefit now that they are adults.
My elder son is married to a young woman from Laos; so my grandson (now 2 1/2) is learning English, Arabic and Laotian. I'm sure that when he really gets to jabbering away, he will not mix the languages; my own children never did.
