My sons have been to Reggae Festival in Yokohama with their friends last weekend , they enjoyed their short summer holiday driving long way to there also it's fun for them.
I'm happy to hear so that ,they always say summer is busy to enjoy with friends and they say they work for that ,yes young as young they have good time ,now they return to daily life .
I liked to travel to east Africa when I was young same age as my children, since 19 years old till 30 years old most of time I spent time in Nairobi in Kenya and my children also they spent time 5years in Nairobi.
They started speak three languages Swahili language with Kenyan people and English with European friends and Japanese language with me it was when they were 2 years old and first son was 3 years old.
They learn to speak different language from our neighbors,and their little friends also they used speak three languages when they are play they speak Swahili or English outside and with their family they spoke their mother tun Ethiopian , Indian , Somalian ,or Kenyan their own tribe languages.So for my children were just normal thing to speak different languages depend on parson who talk with.
One day one of my British friend asked me how I teach them ? But I said it's not me they learn from their friends when they play and they used see people are speaking different language even Kenyan people they have their own tribe languages and speak Swahili too.But only one thing I was wonder how they realize
when person are speaking English they answered in English and person when they speak to my children Swahili they answered in Swahili ? That's my friend was asked me question because they were still so smallmy second son was only 2 years old and first son was only 3 years old.They liked to talk with people so much, and when they play the used to speak in English between brothers. Since that time we lived 5 years in Nairobi after we returned to Japan they learn to speak Japanese very quick they surprised me.But most things they learn through communication with people was culture, they learn to respect elder parson , kindness,honest, and care to younger theses they learn when they were small it is very important and they have these mind still now.
One day we were watching evening news there was fire works Festival in Paris it was beautiful I thought so that spent money was three hundred millions yen when my son heard so what he said to me " how can spend money like that better buy foods for children of crisis " he was 11years old. He was sometimes explain to me Japan is very peace because he knows there are many children are in crisis in the world
and we have seen tank front of our house in Burundi when they were 5 years old.
My sons and daughter are life with freedom that is normal life , I wish all other children in the world their life also to be so.
