[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 607297, member: 3493"] The Moroccan school sounds wonderful. I read something once that said that as children, people who are exposed to multiple languages sometimes have difficulty communicating and become frustrated because they haven't yet figured out how to use the brain to sort through it but, of course, as they get older, the ability to speak multiple languages is such a benefit. One thing about America is how few native born Americans who are second generation and past are bilingual. When I went to Europe, I was so impressed with people who slipped in and out of languages. Can I ask you just one question about J's name? I love it, it was my grandpa's name and my oldest boy is Hebrew named after him. Do you call him Jacob in English or Hebrew and in Morocco or do you call him by an Arabic version? I'm just wondering because I have friends who call their child by an English name when they're in America and then use only the Hebrew name in Israel. The children don't have any issues with it.
