Mom spoke to us in Swiss when we were little.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've lived for 10 years in Switzerland, so I speak German.
My mother was born in Switzerland, my stepfather in Canada.
It was deeply interesting to observe my mother closely and to draw her. During those last months, she wasn't speaking much, if at all, and it was a way for me to be with her. It felt very natural.
I speak English with my dad and Swedish with my mom; it's quite schizophrenic.
I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.
When I was younger, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed.
I live in Italy. I visit my family in Switzerland.
We spoke French at home and I didn't know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement.
My mother always spoke to me in English, so it's technically my maternal language, and it became a kind of private language - I was happy that I could speak in English to my mum and the majority of people wouldn't understand it.
I spoke Franglais growing up.
