I agree with echelon. My husband speaks Igbo and French fluently, and an 'okay' spanish (God knows how many times he's shocked some latinos  ). So, our kids will know how to speak Igbo and French fluently. They can learn English in school and oh, they wont be speaking English at home . |

I could allow them to spend weeks/month but years? not even if i was given $10m About marring someone from my state. . . .im i going to start surfing for a girl who's from my state? Haa  it's what you know either way Its easy for you people. . .Yoruba is very easy to learn. . . .  |
