My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mum and Dad sent us to a bilingual school, so we had half the lessons in English and half in French. But I remember being hugely lost.
I learned French before I learned Spanish.
I learned Spanish at home and, since half my family doesn't speak English, it's my first language.
French was my first language.
I taught English, first at a Catholic school and then at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif.
Oh, yes, I taught 13 and a half years. I taught English, first at a Catholic school and then at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif.
I taught high school students Spanish.
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
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.
I've never lived in an English-speaking country, ever, but I lived in Austria. So, my second language is German. And when I went to school, I had a lot of classes in English.
