RE: Why I Speak"Denglish" On Steemit? Hildegard Knef, DJ Koze Und Meine Erste Post In Deutsch! Inspired By A Song I like "Ich Schreibe Dir Ein Buch!"
I sometimes struggle with languages myself. My native language is Dutch and our daughter also speaks Dutch. But as I am a strong believer in learning some kind of language which you can use all over the world, We like her to learn to speak and write in English of course.
It is why I have chosen to write in English as well, just so I can have an audience from all over the world. Although I make grammar mistakes way too often.
Thats ok I guess! Our world is a big Misch Masch / Melange/ Durcheinander of so many beautiful people. Who cares what language we speak as long as we understand each other:)
My daughter went to a privat school to get her A-Level degree from Cambridge University and I am glad I chose englisch in our home. Now she speaks perfectly German and all is good.4 !!! languages at age 23 is not too bad at all.
I still think that its good to raise our children bi and even tri-lingual but it was too difficult for the first 5 years as a single mother. I couldn't handle this situation well enough, living in New York at that time.
