wow.. I love this website :) why am I only hearing about it now?? and I cant wait to read your languages article (I blogged a few months ago about the topic of it all)
I love this article. I mainly speak english and a some french even though my parents are bilingual but they didn't pass it on. I wish I could speak so many languages, I've certainly tried but learning from your parents and relatives is the best way. I can say a few sentences though in many languages and this never fails to bring joy to speakers of these other languages. My kids go to a french only school so they are bilingual the way I was supposed to be but I wish they could speak their father's language which is malay. No relatives around to help out though at all and dh didn't try too hard sadly.
Sis Ammena, It's a great magazine isn't it? The lady who has been putting the magazine together has a real passion for the subject and has found some really interesting people to write for the mag. I tried looking for your language post but couldn't find it :(
Sister C, I would agree that having family speak a language makes all the difference to children picking it up. I don't speak French, but would love my kids to learn a European language along with Arabic insh'Allah - knowing alangauge opens so many doors and as you say brings joy to others when you speak to them in their language.
