Summary

I speak English with our two children (soon to be 2 and 5 years old). My wife speaks Swedish with them. The outside world is in French. (Note: We all speak all three languages too). Here's a glimpse at how that works, with special guests Otis and Astrid. Hope you find it as fascinating as I do!
