Growing up global

I got tired of traveling around the world and meeting people who could speak 2,3,4 or more languages when most Americans only speak 1. So I decided to do something about it - started a company called Jabber

The best way I know to teach children various languages is to address them in the desired one. My children were bilingual from birth. We spoke both French and English and they just picked up each language the way any human learns its original tongue. Children are much like Sponges. and they do also soak up garbage.

Awesome idea - I've always felt the same way. In fact, I'm planning on taking my child abroad for an extended period when she's 5 or 6 to expose her to another culture and help her learn another language.

Best of luck and hope you get up to the NY metro area with this idea soon.
