Spanish, German, English and a bit of Aymara Mar 8, 2011

Hello,

I have 2 kids LD 18 & Stefie 15, both of them speak Spanish (because it is our native language), German (because their father is German, and they go to a German School), English (because they learn it at school and at home), and a bit Aymara (because in Bolivia it is mandatory to learn a native language at school).

Warm greetings,

Rocío

My boys (1.5 and almost 3) only speak English. We live in an English-speaking environment and they have no other German-speaking relatives anymore, so I found it impossible to keep speaking to them in German. However, everyone else knows better - of course! - and keeps telling me I should be speaking to them in German.

I may send them to our local German School later on, but for now it's just English for us!... See more

I'm bilingual (English, Vietnamese) and also know French, German, Latin Mar 8, 2011

My parents are Vietnamese and being exposed to English at a very early age, I can say English is my first language. Vietnamese may be so and I started translating (practise) at 12. i started learning French at 10 (self-education) and furthered this at uni in Australia, German comes last.

Last year, I picked up Latin within a few days, which was not hard at all. As a hobby, I was comparing Japanese, Chinese and Old Vietnamese (written in Chinese characters) and found some similaritie
