I live in a city and I work in a library. I work in the city. I'm from US and i know german. I travel on boat. I have 3 kids. I have young children. I play flute. I have two dogs. I take my dogs to the library with me. I speak German to my dogs.  I'm not good at math. I speak English more than I speak German. I live in an area with a lot of Spanish speakers. I speak some Spanish but not much.
I'm from Europe and i work on software. I'm living in US since 2004. I like to run and did a half marathon. I was in a band and I played drums. I'm burned out on being in a band. I have a black lab and a yellow lab. I didn't have a pet growing up. I would like to get more dogs. I think dogs are good listeners. My parents are from two different countries. I have lived in several different countries. I spent most of my time in France. I have attended university. I am familiar with the German language. I have lived in more than one country. I come from a multicultural and multilingual family--German and Spanish. I am trilingual. I learned English outside of the home. Spanish is my predominant language.
My family has decided to start a new tradition where every Saturday morning, we will all speak to each other in Spanish, only. Can't wait to see how it goes! Good luck. Do you all know enough to last long? Haha no clue, but I am pretty excited about it. It will definitely help me to feel closer to my neighbors. You should tell them to only speak to you in spanish. That might help It might, but I am always so grateful when someone speaks English and my brain gets a break. I wish I had started learning Spanish much younger. I've heard learning earliest is always the best. Should help your kids. That is very true. I am happy that they SHOULD be able to speak three languages quite easily. They will keep me on tack on Saturday mornings, that's for sure. So what happens if someone breaks the rule? Grounded for 2 weeks! I kid. It isn't supposed to be a tortuous thing. I think we can come up with someone silly like whipped cream in the face or something. Keep things light. Or maybe add 15 minutes in the afternoon. Just for them. That is not a bad idea. Haha I am the one who will probably screw up, so I have to be easy on myself. No beer that night. That'll keep you on track
