That's why I start writing again. It keeps my languages alive.

Yes, I believe multiple langauges are very important. We moved to Europe for our son to truly experience a multiple language environment. Our native language is English. We live in a Flemish speaking town. My son and husband work and go to school in Francophone areas. No local is consider educated unless he has four or more languages. | ||

No its not important to me. I dont purposely avoid my kids being exposed to other languages but I dont encourage it either. Being from AZ this is a sore subject to me. There are so many imagrants here legal and illegal that spanish is everywhere. I worked for Cigna healthcare and I got probably 5 calls a day asking me if I spoke spanish. I feel like if your gonna live in this country you must speak the language. Do you think if I went to france or mexico they would cater to me and get a translator? I think not. Not only that but the additional funding that schools require for spanish tranistion classes.
