Noemi,
I'm so glad you're back and posting. I've enjoyed your insights and
observations so much!
Dylan is now picking up a few Korean words as well. His Karate club has
a visiting Tae Kwon Do instructor a few times a month, and in just this
short time, with no special effort, he's counting in Korean or Japanese,
responding to commands in the appropriate language and even painted a
poster for the club in Japanese. I don't know about Portuguese.... It
sounds intimidating! <G> All I can say is I'm glad you speak English so
well, because if we had to communicate using my Japanese, you'd never
know what I was talking about... These smart children will translate for
us, maybe.
