[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an English speaking nanny to a 2,5yo in Germany. I've been with them for just over a year. I speak exclusively English to her, the parents do German. She understands me perfectly though replies to me in German, and is now beginning to say things in English to me.[/quote] I wish we could afford that when the baby is born. We have a huge circle of English-only friends (outside Germany) and both work in international office environments. It would be great to have the baby at least understand English early. As we are both not native English speakers and are currently not in an English speaking country we have decided it isn't worth to parent in a language that is not our mother tongue. We will have to see if we can get into a bilingual daycare, even if that means having to drive to the other side of town.[/quote]
