this is great news to me! i studied spanish in college and high school and i lived in mexico and spain as an adult. i speak spanish almost fluently (albeit with a really weird accent) and plan to speak strictly spanish while i'm at home with my children (even though they're almost guaranteed to develop said weird accent). since we're looking to adopt from ethiopia, i'd also like to integrate them into the small ethiopian community in our city with hopes that they'd learn (if adopted as infants) or retain (if adopted as toddlers) amharic. even though i've always heard that it's much easier for small children to learn other languages, i've been worried that i would overwhelm them. you all have set my mind at ease, though. thanks!
