"My children are bilingual." How many parents would love to be able to say that — and believe it!
I recently met with a journalist friend in Australia. He is an Anglo Australian; his wife, Greek. I asked him how the family was.
"My wife's in Greece right now with the two children. The boy's turning 6 and is totally bilingual. We want the same for our daughter, who's just 1 year old." (My friend, by the way, does not speak Greek.)
