[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are both you and your husband monolingual?[/quote] DH is fluent in German and I am reasonably fluid in French. We have never needed to speak anything but English in the countries we lived in. [/quote] This is so sad, if true. Where have you travelled to?[/quote] I'm in a similar position to OP and grew up overseas. It's not sad, it's reality. It doesn't mean OP has cloistered herself. In countries where English is the language of commerce, and where the locals are a pretty reserved bunch, it can be very hard to speak/learn another language. If you just don't hear or have opportunities to use it, it is basically the same as taking a second language class back in the states. [/quote]
