Well, we should probably learn Mandarin Chinese

Just a few articles to read before retiring for the night..

Of note, Duke and NYU are starting campuses overseas. Might be something to think about in the way of your children’s future careers.

New basic French curriculum

learnables

I just purchased this curriculum for learning basic French with the kids.  We’ve used a couple of programs in the past including an in-home tutor and Rosetta Stone.  This program came highly recommended so hoping we have a good experience with it.  My ultimate goal is to immerse us in the French culture for extended stays.
