Why foreign language exposure is important, even if your child is not a language sponge
“Children are sponges. She’ll have no problem learning German.” I can’t count how often we have heard this phrase in relation to Miss M. However, the common view that young children are language sponges is not true for all children. Some would argue that it is not true at all when it comes to languages. Despite this fact, foreign language exposure is still important at a young age. We are raising Miss M to be bilingual To recap, I am a native English speaker (Australian) and my husband is German.

A few weeks ago we spent the weekend in Munich. To break up the trip on the way home, we took our little dinosaur aficionado to a new dino highlight, the Dinosaurier or Dino Museum in Altmühltal.
