Is Dutch a higher priority for you than French? Do you want the kids to know Dutch eventually too?Sarah @ Baby Bilingualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907207816628137938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28609701.post-50662359371902856502007-09-15T08:10:00.000-06:002007-09-15T08:10:00.000-06:00Hmmm you remind me to work on my Dutch.

But now *sigh* I can hardly find time and energy to even read in Indonesian! Our library has some collections of Dutch movies .. that helps a bit.
