Does anyone else have the experience of being in a relationship where you’re from different countries but you met and started a life in a third? And then you tried to live in either of your home countries but your relationship somehow works better when you’re in a third country?
Or am I alone in this? It’s a very strange existence.
How’s the language development going? / what are their strongest languages?
The language development goes as good as the parents are willing to invest. You have to make the decision to actively engage your children in your respective languages and stick to it (with modern technology and media, there’s no excuse anymore). No slacking off just because it’s easier to stick to the local language. The kids may ‘struggle’ a little initially, but that’s just an adjustment period, and they’ll get over it. Kids are far more resilient than we like to admit, it’s the adults who have the biggest challenge sticking to language development.
Right. I was just asking about this poster’s personal experience
