Ollie does speak a few words and seems understand a little too. The teachers are quite impressed with him already.

Yes I think that's a good idea too! If Logan asks what something is I try to tell him the word in both English & German if I know it and can pronounce it properly. It helps me learn too!

I have spoken to a mum who was in the same position as me and her kids are now early teens. Her kids are now both fluent and she said that it was when they both started school she really learnt the language better, there is hope for us too then! hehe
