German!

Forgot to mention - Delta asked me to read more from "The House at Pooh Corner" (which has very few pictures - it is like the original Pooh stories by A.A. Milne....) And I read several pages to him. Will do the next chapter soon.

And, just talked to Mike (via Email...) - and he has agreed to teach the kids German as a part of their homeschooling. He is fairly fluent, having lived there 7 years. French is the more common 2nd language here in Canada of course - but really no-one in the house knows it at all (even though I took 6 years of it in school...) The advantage of doing French would be that most of our movies here (DVD's) have French as a 2nd language track.... where for German we would need to find other resources.....

In any case, I'm going YEAY! Not sure when he is likely to start with them on it - it may be quite a while, as I'm sure he is going to have to think a bit about how to go about it. (hm, he wouldn't go for the talking to the kids only in German back when Delta was a baby... lol) Funny thing is none of the older kids know any German (except swears, I dare say) even though their mom is German, and Mike was fluent in it....
