Great post. I am happy that your children are going to learn different languages.

Kudos to you for enrolling your 9 year old in language courses. I speak Krenglish too! The term is new to me but I like it.

I have this romantic idea of one day taking my future children to live in various countries for the summer where they'll learn many languages. (a dream) Again much props to you for encouraging language with your child. In so many other countries people speak at least 3 languages. Kembe la.

Very interesting post. I think it's both. So awesome that you are doing that for your kiddos. They are going to be so well rounded. In studying the different languages they will also be learning about the cultures too. That's great. :)
