My Worst Fear of Raising Bilingual Kids in France

January 9, 2015 by Carrieanne Le Bras

My Worst Fear of Raising Bilingual Kids in France

One decision I never thought I'd have to make is how to teach my kids to speak English fluently. I'm American and spoke English all my life. I never thought that one day I'd fall in love with a Frenchman and be raising a family in France. I enjoyed my high school French class, but lets face it, I butchered the language. I still do.

An American Christmas in France

An American Christmas in France

This is my fourth Christmas in France, as last year, we celebrated Christmas with my family in Florida. As much as I enjoy having Christmas with my French in-laws, I felt that this year, I needed a typical American Christmas that I had growing up. Every Christmas, we had to pack and travel to family.
