I am a mother of one (Annamaria) in Ann Arbor, MI and also married to a Chinese man. It has been a thrill to browse your blog, as I had hoped to connect with other mothers in a position similar to my own. In particular, I would like to know more about Luca's schooling. Thank you for such a wonderful resource. I expect to visit frequently. sincerely, Allison 你好Sophie! I am a mother of one (Annamaria) in Ann Arbor, MI and also married to a Chinese man.

Just discovered your Web site through BlogHer and am bookmarking it to review more thoroughly later. I've been struggling since my son was born to teach him multiple languages, but it's a losing battle. My family speaks the Taiwanese dialect, not Mandarin, and there are no schools nearby that teach this dialect. My mother used to speak in Taiwanese to my son when she was helping care for him as a baby, but he's in public school now. I'm putting my son into a Mandarin-immersion class once a week on Saturdays, but since neither my husband nor I speak the language, we can't reinforce it at home. But being exposed to a little bit of other languages is better than none, right? (As an aside, we seem to have picked the same WordPress theme for our blogs; I did I double-take when I saw your page!) Hi!

Carolyn and Moming’s favorites are also “Wo De Hao Mama 我的好妈妈,” (”My good Mama”). What’s a coincidence.

I read your letter on Multilingual Living Magazine. I'm a mom of two quadralingual kids (5 years and 22-months-old). We used to live in the US for 4 years before moving to Germany, and have been through the same as your family (minority language(s) against the dominant environment language). I read through your blog, and we did similar things to keep Indonesian (mine) and French (husband's) above the water. Keep up the good work! I will add you on my blogroll. We could learn a lot from each other's experience. Santi Hi Sophie!
