Well done Cameron

Encourage the kids to learns languages! I didn't learn a second one at school, although being married to a Dutchman for 33 years means I have just about mastered that one.

My neice is now studying French, Italian, Russian, Mechanical Engineering and Business studies at Strathclyde Uni. Much of that linguistic acumen is due to the fact her parents let her live in Italy with friends for 3 months when she was 9.

My grandson is 16 months old, and speaks and understands English and Gujurati equally.

We just miss the boat here, and wait til we are older and less receptive.
