Hello everyone,
We are a family with 2 small children, of four and six years of age. We have a bit of a disadvantage because the little ones do not speak English. We already speak Italian and Spanish at home, so we never insisted on a third language just yet. We are soon moving to Nairobi however, which does not have any Spanish or Italian schools (not to our knowledge at least).
We are sure they will pick up English soon enough however the oldest one has to start primary school as soon as we get there, which complicates things a little because he has not learned to read or write yet. One option may be homeschooling, although it works better when there are other families involved for support.
Anyone else in a similar situation or willing to try this alternative? We would be specially delighted if you were also Italian or Spanish speaking, though we don't expect to be so lucky.
Let me know!
