That's what I want my kids to understand--that there's a whole big world out there, and not everyone speaks English (nor should they, really!) :) And Cathy, Spanish is pretty prevalent where I am, too, but I haven't picked up much! It'd be way more useful than this high-school French that I've already forgotten! ;) Wow, Tracy–your step daughter’s got a great thing there, being fluent in a second language!

Wasn't it Robin Williams who said better latent than never? Mark's having all sorts of problems with allergies right now, too. Snow mould, dust, you name it. Glad you're enjoying the excerpts. I start teasing you with DIANA excerpts today, too. *evil grin* Cheers, Tracy Hey, you made it Cathy. Wasn’t it Robin Williams who said better latent than never?

Love how you are teasing us with different excerpts, can't wait to read Carson's Night, plus I already have Eva's Last Dance on my wish list. As for the languages, Fedora, I am totally impressed. Even living in a state where spanish is so prevalent, I just don't have the ear or aptitude for languages. Hi Tracy,

I do envy your kids. I wish I'd been immersed in a second language when I was young. My step daughter went to a language immersion school from grade 1, as her step father was Chinese, and she learned Mandarin right along with English. She's now fluent in both, and spends as much time in Shanghai as she does in Edmonton, and as she's a tall, blue-eyed blonde, you can imagine how she goes over in Shanghai, speaking fluent Mandarin. She can write her own job ticket, with those credentials. Tracy Bravo, Fedora. I do envy your kids. I wish I’d been immersed in a second language when I was young.

My husband's family speaks it (which you think would make this easier!) and my family understands it; I've taken it before myself, but neither my husband or I speak it regularly anymore. It's been hard going so far--they're in their second year, and they just don't enjoy it. It's been hard work for the whole family trying to keep up with homework and they resent not having free Saturday mornings. I feel like this is a good time to expose them to it though, so I'm hoping we can stick with it for at least another couple years to set a foundation. If they want to abandon ship later, that'll be OK; I don't feel like they're old enough to decide that for themselves yet. Boy, I'm really a mean mom! ;) Tracy, for the kids, we’re pushing Mandarin.
