Any duel-language parents here?
If so, I'm curious to know how you dealt with describing two (+) languages alongside each other.
My Italian is terrible, but helping her is helping me too. My Italian vocabulary for entirely random animals is quite commendable.
I try and describe every new concept in ‘Mamma's Language’ and ‘Daddy's Language’.

I'm so weirded out when I hear couples from different places here in LDN, speaking Enlish with each other.Nairn - I mean,it;s lovely - linga franca and all that - but it feels odd for me to place myself in that dynamic.Nairn
- I speak enough Spanish to get along in a conversation, but right now we are focusing on French, which my wife speaks. She's so young she just likes learning.ben_
- @Nairn: because of three reasons 1) fairness cause it's for both a neutral language and my German which is still good is not enough to be at her leveloey_oey
- cause she's finishing her PhD in German Studies and her job is in the Literature institute at the local University.oey_oey
- 2) My English is sounding more and more like Arnold 3) She wants to better her English and the extra reason: we need a secret language cause of our kid ;-)oey_oey
