I was born in south america, which makes Spanish my first language. since I was a little kid I have always been interested in English (and in language in general) my grandmother supported me (and still does) in investing in my education. thanks to her I speak English at such young age, and in a more subtle way, thanks to her I am able to nourish myself with information regarding bitcoin here at SN.

My question here is: Do you have kids? When are you going to start investing in their education?

Also, this is my first post, I've been here since less than a month and I love SN so far.

I'm a native English speaker but I have Spanish, and Russian in my house so we learn from this and I also have Sanskrit as a base language, too.

that's great. I'm looking forward to learn more languages, it's just as rewarding as learning about bitcoin, isn't it?

I am a native English speaker so there are very few bilingual people in my life. I am trying to learn a second language (via Duolingo), but that can only take you so far.

I keep hearing that immersion is the best way to learn but it's not clear how one is supposed to immerse in a language that's not spoken or used around them.

I don't have children yet, but I would love to raise them bilingually.
