My wife is Spanish, she speaks fluent English & Spanish just as I do.  My son is 12 & he is from a former marriage, my son never knew his mother but Laura came into his life when he was 3.  She has been patient teaching him & his Spanish is almost as good as his English is.  I have told him that for the future jobs etc, being bilingual is going to be help him a lot.

If he wants to work in software development you'll be better off teaching him Hindi.  That would sure make my day easier.

hmmm, so multilingual sucks for every nation then.  maybe if we just all stick to our own language, then no one could understand other countries, and then it would force us to take care of our own nation's problems instead of rushing to fix everyone elses.  so here goes...
