Hi everybody!
I'm new to this group. I am from Russia, born and raised, lived there till 18, then went to Hawaii and met my husband who is Tongan. We have a 15-month old Rus-Ton girl :) Since I'm always at home with her and always speak Russian to her, she understands more of it than Tongan or English. But I think she's a little confused now, since she hasn't said any words that I would understand yet, well... just one maybe, except for mama and papa (dada). I think it's very important to speak your native language to your child if you want them to grow up knowing and speaking it and communicating with grandparents. Early start is important too since babies learn so much in their first 3 years of life and it will be easier for them later on. Well, as for a multi-ciltural marriage, I would say that we have our differences in just about EVERYTHING, but after have been married for 3 years, I learnt to accept and respect them and, of course, compromise a lot of things. Good luck to ya all, |
