oh mme lindt that is great - it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when i hear dc speak german!!

how amazing are kids brains - even my ds1 who's never been the best speaker is coming on leaps and bounds with his german - he even had the right tense today!!

those kids of yours will be trilingual in no time!! amazing!

That's brilliant - and so good that you can understand what they're saying.

I remember being very pleased with myself when I'd tested DS1 on his German GCSE vocab for so long that I could understand when he told DD he hated her in German

Well done to your DS. I think that it really helps the DC who are not so great speakers. DS is like that too.
