Motivation is our downfall, too...<br /><br />Elisa - you too, good luck with Croatian and thanks :) Maybe if you learn enough of the basics you'll be able to learn just from listening to your husband or other people talking. I'm not too big on the studying myself, at least not any longer than I absolutely have to! It's hard when you're used to speaking English together and your husband isn't too enthusiastic about learning. Living in Croatia is definitely the most convenient way to learn, though, so seize the opportunity!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606614582290926158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522551177958690642.post-48541495744793510382010-07-12T16:11:57.978+02:002010-07-12T16:11:57.978+02:00I may be joining in as well.

I actually really agree about 3 languages being way enough for our family already. But my husband and I have been talking about learning a language together pretty much the whole time we've been married and never gotten it together, so we might manage to stick with it for a while this time. K can be our observer and get some exposure to sounds and words outside our regular languages.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606614582290926158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522551177958690642.post-56574847459804666472010-07-12T14:32:48.360+02:002010-07-12T14:32:48.360+02:00Hi!

I'd love to start a new language, but, right now, I think 3 is already lots of work!<br />I recommend you a cute baby/toddler? called Pocoyo in Spanish (you can find him in youtube). My son loves Pocoyo, he listens to him speaking in English and it's quite cool. ¡Buena suerte! :)Marta G. (A Bilingual Baby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13444638708357603538noreply@blogger.com
