I’m still frustrated, worried and slightly down about the difficulties involved in raising bilingual children but I can see a little light. Not that I’ve found the answer to all my worries or a sure way of solving them but I’ve found someone else who is taking part in the same struggle and that’s very exciting.
I met Anna!!! She lives just one suburb away from me and is also trying to raise her daughter bilingually.
So we’ve decided to start some sort of German-speaking playgroup in the Blue Mountains (Deutsche Krabbelgruppe, deutsch-sprachige Muttergruppe, zweisprachige Spielgruppe or German mothersgroup … whatever you want to call it). At the moment it’s only the two of us and our three children (two of which are too young to talk) but we’re hoping to find more parents who are on the same journey and want to join us.
BTW if this is you PLEASE leave a coment or write an email!!!!
