Hello,
I asked myself what mutts or just people with a different background (like me) speak at home. My whole family is from Germany, we’re living in England since october, but just for a while. We’re speaking usually German, but sometimes also English at home (We always talking in english outside). My boyfriend is born in England, but he’s ¼ Dutch and ½ French and at home they mostly speak a mixture of English, French and Dutch. (Of course not outside, nobody would understand).
So, my question is, what are you speaking at home?
Thank you :)
