Yes, I have been a little occupied since the end of January. I have moved to another team in my company, and I need to spend some time to settle in. I guess I need to pick up some momentum again. Thanks for your encouragement! Rmss,

I guess I need to pick up some momentum again. Thanks for your encouragement!

Edwin; are you busy or something? I always enjoyed your posts but there were just a few new posts lately. What's wrong? I’m going totally off-topic, so forgive me.

In such an environment, their "second" language becomes their native language and their mother language is weak. Often, these people do not pass on their mother language to their children. I hope that we might be able to preserve bilingualism through generations of families. With this goal in mind, let's celebrate International Mother Language Day, and appreciate our heritage languages.
