Originally posted by LoftyDog View PostThats a pretty big mix. I'm mosly Italian, but also Swedish and Norwegian. I guess I can identify more with my Italian side b/c I took Italian in high school. I'm just curious, are your kids growing up to be bilingual? I'm wondering b/c my girlfriend is Puerto Rican and Columbian and she doesn't speak Spanish, and a lot of Spanish people make fun of her for not speaking it.
Yes they are, right now my son (2 years old) probably speaks the most. lol That's sad, but I speak more fluent now then I did with my other 2. They do know a lot of stuff though. My husband says it's more important for them to know english. I guess it's because english is his 2nd language.

Originally posted by LoftyDog View PostTook Italian, for 4 years and I should speak it better than I do. I wish I was bilingual though, especilly in Spanish. I could see where your husband is coming from, saying English is more important, but if they're fluent in both than thats better.

Originally posted by LoftyDog View Post...the way I tell people my last name is pronounced. Its German and my family Americanized it because of the racism that was going on against Germans during WWII. I kinda want to go back to saying it the German way, for no real reason, I just want to. Do you think its a stupid, pointless thing to do?
Pride is real ****.
