I've been thinking...

I really want my kids to speak Spanish well. I have realized that my Spanish SUCKS. Most of the think I am struggling to figure out the words that I am supposed to say. So here is what I think I want to move to Costa Rica for at least 3 months. My grandmother has a house there which is close to the rest of my family. I am pretty sure that Jose will be able to work from there. I really think that it could work. We could sign the kids up to a really good private school there which cost a lot less then what it is here. We would close our house for those months and save that money because things over there are A LOT cheaper than here even what they think is expensive is not for people who have dollars. Plus we would be making the same amount of money we would live like the rich. But that is not the point the point is that we need to improve our Spanish. I would also want to do this before Monkey Doodle starts school. Which will be August of 2010. Since he losses a year because of his birth date. I don't mind taking a semester off for this, I could take a class online, some easy class that doesn't require me to go to the campus. So I don't know. Please let me know what you guys think. I could use some advice.

  3. Once that's done, you might want to consider sending them off to Costa Rica at *least* once a year, especially through their teen years. Before the age of 12 is when children absorb language quicker. Once they learn it well and are comfortable, speaking to them in Spanish all the time and sending them off to their home country once a year will help them keep their language. :)
