玩偶姐姐

@Ameerah Arjanee.聽 It depends on the parent. My 2nd. mother from Niteroi raised me from 8yrs old and she lives with us in Northeastern Brazil at 98. She taught me simple phrases and slang. On the other hand, my "I never went to college" extremely street-smart wife and my self have one daughter. After my daughter was born in the USA, my wife brought her to Brazil while she was still a baby. Even though she was born in the USA my daughters first language is Brazilian Portuguese. My daughter is also an American AND Brazilian citizen with a Brazilian AND American Passport.

FYI, since I also subscribe to the SPAIN expat.com because my younger brother will be moving there, I got the same message there.

Hello, I am a content writer for 玩偶姐姐 Magazine. We are planning on writing an article on the advantages and challenges of raising bilingual (or even trilingual!) children while living abroad as an expat. Parents of the forum, what have been your experiences with teaching your kids multiple languages or having them grow in multilingual environments abroad? Thank you for sharing your testimonies that we can include in the article. - @Ameerah Arjanee

What about the children of expats who without their input changed countries, cultures, cultural norms, language, education, history, family, and friends, all while they were growing up in a foreign land?聽 How do they, we, fit in later with both countries?
