My daughter is in Denmark, one son in Czech Rep. and another in Argentina, I lived in Germany. I can't wait for their observations on America when they get home. It's the best education to live in and learn the language of another country.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
"Man sieht nur das, was man weiß."
You only see what you know.

What a great story! A second language (or third...) really opens up your understanding of the world. Parents should stress this importance to their kids and see if they can't get them started early on in their schooling. High school is almost too late.
